In the recent decades, neoliberal policies have prioritized economic growth to the detriment of social cohesion and the environment. Within these policy tendencies, some societies have attempted to promote sustainable collective wellbeing through comprehensive policy mixes. From an institutionalist economic sociology perspective, this article compares how the four regions in Spain with the highest economic growth have dealt with social cohesion and the environment. Based on quantitative and qualitative data, two models are found: the liberal cases of Madrid and Catalonia, focused on economic growth, and the collectivist cases of the Basque Country and Navarre, aimed at comprehensive wellbeing. Each model displays a configuration of politics (institutional power relations and the organization of socioeconomic interests) and policy mix (the relations between two sets of policies: economic development policies and comprehensive wellbeing policies). The policy mix of the collectivist model has generated higher sustainable collective wellbeing driven by transformative public-civil collaboration.

新自由主义时代的发展政策和政治:西班牙地区可持续集体福祉的政策组合和变革性公共-民间合作(1980 年代至 2010 年代)

近几十年来,新自由主义政策优先考虑经济增长,损害了社会凝聚力和环境。在这些政策趋势中,一些社会试图通过综合政策组合来促进可持续的集体福祉。本文从制度主义经济社会学的角度比较了西班牙经济增长最快的四个地区如何处理社会凝聚力和环境。基于定量和定性数据,发现了两个模型:马德里和加泰罗尼亚的自由主义案例,侧重于经济增长,以及巴斯克地区和纳瓦拉的集体主义案例,旨在全面福祉。每个模型都显示了政治配置(制度权力关系和社会经济利益的组织)和政策组合(两套政策之间的关系:经济发展政策和综合福利政策)。集体主义模式的政策组合在变革性的公共-民间合作的推动下产生了更高的可持续集体福祉。
