This paper is an attempt to link Globalization with the ideas of Welfare State.
There are notions that the Welfare State is severely challenged by the borderless
approach of globalization. While welfare regimes are focused on the need of specific
countries, the need to be competitive against other countries is observed to be putting
significant pressures for countries to have common welfare programs. Nonetheless,
this challenge is not simple considering that the provision of welfare programs are
not products of recent developments but of old traditions that have helped countries
to where they are now. At the same time, younger nations are developing their own
welfare regimes tailored to their own governance capacities and economic agenda.
With these differences, globalization is seen to be a rallying or a diverging point
depending on which side will one nation benefits the most. Using different lenses and
approaches, we conclude that globalization has in fact strengthened and improved
welfare systems in developed countries where they converged instead of diverging
from each other. Developing states, on the hand, have different welfare regimes that
they are adapting not in a straight line but in a case approach to globalization. This is
the reason why we do not have a common welfare regime for these countries.

Sabemos que el Estado de Bienestar se está viendo severamente desafiado por la inminente llegada de la globalización. Mientras que los sistemas de bienestar social se centran en las necesidades de unos países específicos, la necesidad de competir con otros países los presiona de manera significativa para establecer un programa común de bienestar. No obstante, este desafío no es sencillo, en la medida en que las provisiones con las que cuenta el programa de bienestar social no disfruta de productos de reciente desarrollo, sino de antiguas tradiciones que ayudaron en su momento a que estos países llegasen hasta donde están actualmente. Al mismo tiempo, los países más jóvenes están desarrollando sus propios sistemas de bienestar social, adaptados a las capacidades y al programa económico de sus propios gobiernos. Con estas diferencias, parece que la globalización puede ser visto tanto como un punto en común como un punto de divergencia, según en qué lado se beneficiará más una nación. Usando diferentes objetivos y enfoques, podemos concluir que efectivamente la globalización ha fortalecido y mejorado los sistemas de bienestar social en los países desarrollados que se unen en lugar de divergir. Los países en vía de desarrollo, por su parte, tienen diferentes sistemas, pero no empleando un método lineal, sino por la globalización. Esta es precisamente la razón por la cual no tenemos un sistema de bienestar social común en estos países.2018text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=6576320(Revista) ISSN 0423-4847Estudios de Deusto: revista de la Universidad de Deusto, ISSN 0423-4847, Vol. 66, Nº. 1, 2018, pags. 117-132engLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
