My first degree was in political and social sciences. This study became an eye-opener and introduced me to the intriguing world of ‘the political’. Ever since I have retained a fascination for (political) decision-making. When I switched to planning and got involved in major planning projects (Albrechts, 1999), I developed a good understanding of how decisionmaking in these projects worked out. My own experience in practice was confirmed by ample examples of well-documented cases of ‘plan-making’ and formal decision-making in the planning literature (Altshuler, 1965; Benveniste, 1989; Flyvbjerg, 1998; Meyerson and Banfield, 1955) and by substantive literature on implementation (Gualini, 2001; Majone and Wildavsky, 1979; Mastop and Faludi, 1997; Pressman and Wildavsky, 1974; Wildavsky, 1979). However, I also noticed that hardly any examples of cases analyzed from the perspective of the political class were available. Understandably political decision-making often seems like a black box to planners. Research by Flyvbjerg (1998) makes it clear that critical analysis of cases is needed to discover the ‘whys and wherefores’ of how elected representatives or preferential actors change the plan and why and how executive officers depart from the formally approved plan. A few years after a major planning process I was heavily involved in came to an end I started a small research project that focused on understanding the power dynamics of the wider political context in this particular process (Albrechts, 2003a, 2003b, 2006; see also Huxley, 2000; Flyvbjerg, 1998; Forester, 1989; Tewdwr-Jones and Allmendinger, 1998; Yiftachel, 1998). What I really wanted to understand was how regional government
我的第一个学位是政治和社会科学。这项研究让我大开眼界，让我进入了一个有趣的“政治”世界。从那以后，我一直对(政治)决策着迷。当我转向规划并参与重大规划项目时(Albrechts, 1999)，我对这些项目中的决策是如何进行的有了很好的理解。我自己在实践中的经验得到了规划文献中“制定计划”和正式决策的充分证明(Altshuler, 1965;Benveniste, 1989;Flyvbjerg, 1998;Meyerson和Banfield, 1955年)以及关于实施的实质性文献(Gualini, 2001年;Majone and Wildavsky, 1979;Mastop and Faludi, 1997;Pressman and Wildavsky, 1974;Wildavsky, 1979)。然而，我也注意到，几乎没有任何从政治阶层的角度分析的案例。可以理解的是，政治决策对规划者来说往往像是一个黑匣子。Flyvbjerg(1998)的研究清楚地表明，需要对案例进行批判性分析，以发现当选代表或优先行为者如何改变计划的“原因和原因”，以及高管为什么和如何偏离正式批准的计划。在我积极参与的一个重大规划过程结束几年后，我开始了一个小型研究项目，重点是了解在这个特定过程中更广泛的政治背景下的权力动态(Albrechts, 2003a, 2003b, 2006;参见赫胥黎，2000;Flyvbjerg, 1998;佛瑞斯特,1989;jones and Allmendinger, 1998;Yiftachel, 1998)。我真正想了解的是地方政府如何

The essential objective of this article is to link the exposure of firms to increasing international competition and the evolution of social welfare systems, while states lose the use of some policies aimed to improve national competitiveness. The empirical study focuses on EU countries, and investigates whether trends in welfare provision levels and funding are coherent with theoretical hypothesis.
