Research On The Crisis Of British Welfare State Under The Background Of Globalization

It has been 70 years since the announcement of the establishment of a welfare state in the UK.The welfare state system has played a role in promoting political stability,promoting economic development,and easing social conflicts in the development of British capitalism.However,with the revival and in-depth development of globalization since the 1970 s,the British welfare state system is facing various crises.First,in the era of globalization,the British welfare state is facing a political crisis.On the one hand,the relative balance of capital and labor under the coordination of the state is the basis for the establishment and continuous development of the British welfare state.In the era of globalization,the status of capital has been greatly improved,and capital flows freely and rapidly around the world.The activities of pursuing maximum profits have become more frequent.The nature of capital for profit has gradually broken the class balance between capital and labor and the state.On the other hand,globalization has also weakened the national sovereignty function of the British welfare government.Globalization has deepened the dependence of all countries in the world,and any national behavior has certain Internationality in the era of globalization.The growth of regional or international organizations joined by Britain also requires Britain to transfer some state power,which continuously weakens the sovereign function of the British welfare state.Second,the development and expansion of globalization has broken the original economic growth model of the welfare state in the UK.The globalization of capital has led to a lack of development momentum in the UK welfare economy.The globalization of trade and labor has placed the UK welfare state at a disadvantage in global competition.In the end,Britain's economic development in the era ofglobalization was weak,and it was difficult to provide huge economic support for its welfare policy,which led to the economic crisis in the welfare state of the United Kingdom.Finally,the British welfare state was established in the era of highly prosperous industrial society,while the arrival of globalization rapidly pushed the world into the information society.The welfare system of the UK is incompatible with the information society,and its welfare concept is also in conflict with the competition concept in the era of globalization,which finally leads to the great institutional crisis faced by the welfare state of the UK in the era of globalization.
