new journal, first issue available in December 1999:
THE EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF SOCIAL QUALITY
Managing Editor: François Nectoux, Professor of Contemporary European
Studies, Kingston University. Published under the auspices of Kingston
University and in association with the European Foundation of Social Quality,
Amsterdam
The European Journal of Social Quality aims to:
Explore practices and discourses on, and to raise crucial issues with regard
to, social quality in contemporary societies.
Engage in ongoing debate on perceptions and expectations of social quality in
different societies and look at in what way these are affected by factors
such as religion, class, gender, and others which are shaping individual and
group identities.
Evaluate how economic policies or political decisions affect social quality,
encourage research that identifies and examines policies and identify and
access policies that enhance or threaten the quality of life.
Each issue is devoted to a theme selected from key issues, especially those
of the evolving new stage of the European Union. Discussions are
wide-ranging but will focus on social and political questions, social
attitudes and cultural issues. Forthcoming themes include: Age and Autonomy
and Health and Work.
The first issue of The European Journal of Social Quality will be a
double-issue including articles as follows:
Social Quality and the Future of the European Union - Professor Alan Walker,
Dr Wolfgang Beck and Dr Laurent van der Maesen
