** 'Social policy in challenging times' by Kevin Farnsworth & Zoe Irving

Bringing together a range of expert contributions, this book is the first 
to address the relationship between the economic crisis and social policy 
within an international context. The key lesson to emerge is that 'the 
crisis' is better understood as a variety of crises, each mediated by 
national context.

"The financial crash of 2008 is reshaping welfare systems, but in different 
and unexpected ways. This book provides a compelling guide." Andrew Gamble, 
University of Cambridge

** 'The last safety net' by Thomas Bahle

This book provides a systematic comparative and longitudinal analysis of 
minimum income protection systems in 17 EU-countries based on a newly 
developed dataset.

"Navigating through the complex institutional puzzles which make up the 
last safety nets in the European countries, the authors offer detailed 
empirical information on the actual working of welfare states and on 
different conceptions of deservedness and social citizenship." Chiara 
Saraceno, Research Professor, Institute for Social Research, Berlin
