CONFERENCE THEME
ESPAnet conferences attempt to stimulate exchange among scholars in the
field of European social policy analysis and to promote inter- and multi-
disciplinary approaches.
The 5th Annual ESPAnet Conference 2007 focuses on changing paradigms in
European social policy and in European social policy analysis. The
conference provides a forum to address theoretical and methodological
questions, to reflect on inter-and multi-disciplinarity in social policy
research and to discuss novel analytical trends. It will also deal with
changing paradigms in the concept, and in the actual configuration, of
social policies in Europe. It will ask whether there are shifts in
underlying basic principles, ideas or objectives, which factors might drive
such changes and what directions this might indicate for the future of
social policies in Europe. The conference is open to those active in social
policy research and welcomes contributions from all relevant disciplines.
The conference will be organised in the following 19 streams to which we
invite abstracts. (Further information on Stream Topics is available on the
Conference website.)
