The open access book presents a novel approach to the history of the welfare state by incorporating the concepts of experiencing society and the lived welfare state. It offers theoretical, methodological, and empirical insights for bridging the gap between everyday life and institutional structures. The chapters analyze how the welfare state has become an integral part of modern society, exploring the experience of society that enabled its building and resilience. The book broadens the focus from the Nordic countries to Southern Europe, colonial Asia, and post-colonial South America, recognizing that the welfare state is not a universal model of social development but has a unique history in different contexts. It is essential reading for scholars and students in the social sciences and history, as well as policymakers and practitioners who face the contemporary and future challenges of welfare states.
