Abstract
Party political conflict plays an essential role in shaping welfare policies, while they are simultaneously also shaped by these policies. As political parties grapple with the wicked challenges of our times, new forms of solidarity and solidarity conflicts arise across welfare regimes. Despite their significance, these dynamics have not received much recent attention. Our article aims to fill this gap. Through content analysis of party manifestos, we compare the solidarity frames of political parties within and between three distinct welfare regimes—Flanders (Belgium), Sweden, and the United States. Our results confirm our expectations drawn from political feedback literature: while party ideology influences parties' solidarity frame preferences and solidarity conflicts between parties, these preferences and conflicts are also influenced by a welfare regime's societal solidarity norms. Our article highlights the value of analyzing solidarity frames and political solidarity conflicts within welfare-state regimes to better understand welfare politics and policies.

政党政治冲突在形成福利政策的过程中发挥着至关重要的作用，同时它们也被这些政策所左右。随着各政党努力应对当今时代的严峻挑战，新形式的团结和团结冲突在各种福利制度中应运而生。尽管这些动态具有重要意义，但近期并未受到广泛关注。我们的文章旨在填补这一空白。通过对政党宣言的内容分析，我们比较了比利时佛兰德斯、瑞典和美国这三种不同福利制度内部和之间政党的团结框架。我们的结果证实了我们从政治反馈文献中得出的预期：虽然政党意识形态影响政党的团结框架偏好和政党间的团结冲突，但这些偏好和冲突也受到福利制度的社会团结规范的影响。我们的文章强调了分析福利国家制度中的团结框架和政治团结冲突对于更好地理解福利政治和政策的价值。 相关文章 König, Pascal D. 2015."道德社会复兴或让国家重新工作：作为资源的福利国家文化》（Moral Societal Renewal or Getting the Country Back to Work：福利国家文化作为政策话语的资源和约束"。Politics & Policy 43(5)：647–78. https://doi.org/10.1111/polp.12130.
