Abstract

The present paper examines the identity of
the “South European” deviation against
classical typologies. Against this background,
the argument presented some years
earlier by Katrougalos and Lazaridis (2003)
is revisited, bearing in mind later contributions
in the field as well as recent data.
The article then proceeds by presenting the
main traits of Southern European states, arguing
that they all share the basic characteristics
of the “state-corporatist” welfare
model. Nonetheless, important differences
can be discerned among them, while some
seem to share more common features with
France than with the other members of the
Southern cluster. These differences are in
turn attributed to their historic traditions,
and in particular the dissimilar weight of
patronage and clientelism.
