abstract
The article aims to set out the classic typology of the three worlds of welfare state by Danish sociologist Gosta Esping-Andersen the merits of which are presented in the opening part. The author describes three dimensions of welfare state as figuring in Esping-Andersen’s theory as well as their indicators and clarifies the means by which states are classified into three types constructed on their basis, that is liberal, social democratic and corporatist-statist. The article also depicts various critical reactions to the typology from theoretical and methodological standpoints and shows the way they were taken into account during further development of the conception.
