“…Solidarity has a long history as a key concept in the social sciences (Lahusen and Grasso 2018a;Koos 2019) and in the European history, playing a significant role in the development of welfare states post-World War II, in the development and expansion of the European Union (EU) (Dragalov et al, 2016), being under scrutiny during recent societal crises (Aschauer and Mayerl 2019;Forno and Graziano 2019;Gerhards et al 2019;Koos 2019) and, even more recently, in Europe's response to the Corona crisis. After two decades of almost complete freedom of movement within the EU, the economic recession at the end of the 2000s and the Corona crisis have led to borders being reinvented.…”

“…Indeed, in all our case-studies the social value of solidarity is tightly intertwined with volunteering. Being engaged in civil society activities, donating time, competencies and money, is a shared value and a widespread practice in the countries on which this research focuses (Lahusen and Grasso, 2018). Thus, if we assume volunteerism as an indicator of social solidarity at the interpersonal level (Hustinx and Lammertyn, 2000;Valastro, 2012), we can assert that Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Poland, Switzerland and the UK host a number of forms of horizontal solidarity.…”

“…Similarly, recent migrant-related issues also cast light on the principle of solidarity and raise the question whether this will lead to a crisis of European solidarity. One hypothesis claims that in times of difficulty solidarity is oriented more strongly towards one's family or nation, while solidarity with Europe, the European Union, or with the rest of the world and humankind in general is weaker, according to perceived social proximity (Lahusen and Grasso, 2018).…”

Welfare Attitudes over time of V4-, Northern-and Western European countries in ESS Round 4 and Round 8 data  [piterova@saske.sk] (Institute of Social Sciences, CSPS SAS); [vyrost@saske.sk] (Institute of Social Sciences, CSPS SAS) Intersections.EEJSP 5(1): 143-162. AbstractWelfare attitudes are a complex and multidimensional phenomenon. Social solidarity in the sense of interdependence is understood as the first dimension of welfare attitudes, while differentiation -in terms of how people usually make a distinction between groups that results in their attitude about whom to support -is understood as the second dimension. According to their preferred level of social solidarity and social differentiation, four clusters of people can be identified which represent four distinct types of welfare attitudes: social democratic, liberal, conservative, and radical. The aim of this paper is to analyse ESS fourth-(2008) and eighth-round data (2016) to compare three groups of countries: the Visegrad Group, represented by Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary; Northern Europe, represented by Norway, Sweden and Finland; and Western Europe, represented by Germany, France, and the UK, in terms of the level of social solidarity and social differentiation. Based on ESS data we outline that the differences in the welfare attitudes of V4, Western-, and Northern European countries are not so obvious. However, the analysis of the four types of welfare attitudes reveals some significant differences in interpersonal and institutional trust and basic human values, the description of which falls within the scope of this paper.
