Abstract
A number of scholars argue that the welfare state does not necessarily wither away with globalization; however their studies are mostly restricted to developed countries and examine the general level of government spending. This paper will look at the relationship between greater integration into the world markets and welfare state spending by decomposing the spending into two main parts; social security and welfare, and education. Additionally, it will discuss the effects of labor institutions –which might prevent a decline in governments’ fiscal commitments to social welfare- in the context of developing countries
