Abstract

The issue of social insecurity is high on the public and scientific agenda. Most research, however, looks at

objective forms of insecurity like growing labour market volatilities or atypical employment. Less has been

done with regard to the way people perceive these changes and the role of institutions therein. While recent

studies have highlighted the relatively weak role of institutions in explaining different levels of subjective

insecurity, they were limited in their understanding in the institutions–security interplay. This special issue

aims to understand how institutions generate and moderate the outcomes of subjective insecurity, as well

as to overcome some of the methodological limitations of previous studies. The introduction provides

a state-of-the-art literature review and unfolds the research question addressed in the special issue. It

concludes with some thoughts for future research in the field of social insecurity and institutions.
