The welfare state system is the product of capitalism at a certain developmental stage. However, this system is severely challenged nowadays by the contradictions and conflicts existing between globalization and the requirements for welfare. With the progress of globalization the flow of production, capital, commodities and labor becomes worldwide. Consequently, the controlling capacity of a government is weakened. Globalization thus shakes the political and social foundation of the welfare state system. The author concludes that as the global expansion process of capitalism deepens, its internal contradictions expand and globalize, too, resulting in globalization of the inherent contradictions of capitalism.
