Abstract
This article discusses the interaction between social citizenship and the welfare state in the context of post-communist transformation. It particularly examines the relationship between changing political institutions and notions of citizenship, and changing welfare policies. The welfare diversity can be attributed to inherited legacies and the transitional context, and particularly the political responses to it. They can be best understood in the context of democratization processes which have affected both the notion of citizenship as well as the welfare state reform. Additionally, increasing internationalization challenged existing structures and offered new perspectives. The role of the European Union has, however, been quite uneven in this process. Based on the combined effect of these influences in the post-Yugoslav space, four social citizenship types could be discerned: neo-corporatist (Slovenia), accommodating (Croatia), paternalistic (Serbia and Montenegro), and neoliberal (Macedonia and Kosovo).
