Resumen

El artículo examina la trayectoria de la reforma del bienestar en Alemania y en los cuatro países del Sur de Europa: España, Italia, Grecia y Portugal. El análisis del cambio institucional comprende las transformaciones producidas en las dos últimas décadas, incluyendo los periodos anterior y posterior a la crisis económica y financiera de 2008. La pregunta de investigación es si la reforma ha tenido como resultado una mayor diferenciación entre los modelos de protección social. La metodología es de estudio de caso comparado. Se revisan teóricamente el proceso y resultados del cambio institucional del bienestar y la evolución del gasto para cinco áreas de la política social: pensiones; protección por desempleo; atención sanitaria; conciliación y cuidados, y exclusión social. Se concluye que las reformas de la austeridad y postausteridad han producido una mayor divergencia entre el modelo alemán y el régimen de bienestar mediterráneo, así como una fragmentación interna de este último.
