Social Movements and Welfare State Politics in Europe

Steven Klein is a lecturer of political theory in the Department of Political Economy at King’s College London. This lecture will be on his first book, The Work of Politics: Making a Democratic Welfare State (CUP 2020), which examines the democratic potential of struggles over welfare institutions. His research has focused on democratic theory, critical social theory, theories of political economy and the welfare state, the theory and politics of European integration, and the history of European social and political thought (especially of 19th- and 20th-century Germany). He received his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 2016. In 2016-2017, he was a Max Weber Fellow at the European University Institute in Florence.
