Abstract

This chapter reviews the evolution of welfare state and social policy research in the Central and Eastern European (CEE) region since the 1990s. This research field emerged with the desire to place CEE countries into existing welfare state typologies, leading to debate on the emergence of the post-communist or Eastern European welfare state model. More recent research focuses on selected policy areas in the CEE, particularly on topics considered non-existent in the communist world. The chapter reviews the evolution of social policy research since the 1990s in three of these fields in the CEE region: family policy, pension insurance and poverty. Research innovation in the CEE region is needed in relation to social investment and social rights, climate change and the development of the eco-social welfare state, and the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic on the social policy development and well-being of the CEE population.
