2. LITERATURE REVIEW ON THE SUBJECT
30 th – 31 st October 2015 ”Strategic Management for Local Communities” Bucharest

In the literature there is still a wide variety of positions across the defining social welfare services, their
quality and their cost reporting. Some identifies social welfare services as specialized programs, some

identify as social intervention techniques, and in a different perspective these activities are seen as ways
of knowing the needs and specific types of failures for people with problems.

H. Goldstein considers that the central objective is the knowledge of any social service or social learning.
This implies a direct relationship between the client and the social worker. The concept of "welfare state"

has a recent history. In literature it is deemed to have occurred around of the Second World War.

In Britain, Flora and Heidenheimer (1995) states that it began to be used only after publication of the
Beveridge Report in 1942. New concept was tried to be found correspondents in reality. "Simply stated,"

the welfare state "refers to the process begun in the late nineteenth century, by which the state assumes
collective welfare functions. Basically, it can say that it is the nationalization of social protection" (Zamfir
and Stănescu, 2007)

In the literature there is a lack of a clear definition of the concept of "welfare state". Olsson identify a
duality concept, it comprising, on the one hand, a redistributive component aimed, and as a result, social
welfare, on the other hand, an institutional aspect (state) with respect to inputs and output- sites related

to implementation. At the same time, it can be said that this concept has several components: political
(the manifestation of a political community), social (expression of social solidarity) and economic

(promoting economic growth - economic welfare and security and removing poverty).
