Dear Colleagues
You may be interested in our recently published edited collection -
Handbook of European Social Policy (Edward Elgar)
Patricia Kennett and Noemi Lenvai-Bainton (Editors), 2017
As the European Union (EU) marks its sixtieth anniversary, coming to terms with continuous economic challenges post-2008 and confronted with the first member state to leave after the UK referendum, this handbook takes stock, tracing, reflecting and commenting upon the unique historical trajectories of EU integration as well as its relationship with European social policy. In this book, however, our notion of ‘European’ takes us well beyond the EU. The ‘European social’ denotes issues both of societal changes and claims for changes, as well as the transformation of social citizenship. This collection captures key elements of this transformation of the social, such as territoriality, engendering, multiculturalism, socio-ecological changes and public attitudes. We argue that understanding both the multi-tiering as well as the transformation of the social requires an interdisciplinary approach if we are to capture the dynamics of European social policy.
Bringing together 29 original pieces from key contributors to the field of European social policy this collections is intended to capture the ‘state of the art’ in European social policy and to engage with and further develop theoretical, conceptual and substantive understandings of social policy in post-crisis Europe, as well as to highlight intellectual, political, institutional and societal challenges confronting Europe as we move forward in the twenty-first century. It is intended to be a comprehensive and authoritative resource for research and teaching covering themes and policy areas including social exclusion, pensions, education, children and family, as well as mobility and migration, multiculturalism, and climate change.
