Not only politicians from the radical right but also from more mainstream parties are capitalising on the idea of 'welfare for our kind', or welfare chauvinism. In this innovative book, Gianna Maria Eick provides a comprehensive analysis of welfare chauvinism in Europe, skilfully exploring how it is shaped by education, economy and culture.
