Long-term survey data reveal persistently high levels of support across western Europe for the public provision of welfare and social security services. This book reaches surprising conclusions about theories of ungovernability, overload, the welfare state backlash, and tax revolt.

Series description
This set of five volumes is an exhaustive study of beliefs in government in post-war Europe. Based upon an extensive collection of survey evidence, the results challenge widely argued theories of mass opinion, and much scholarly writing about citizen attitudes towards government and politics. The series arises from a research project sponsored by the European Science Foundation.
