Product Description
Product Description
The future European system of social security and welfare is in need of a new perspective. Thanks to its conceptual and theoretical framework and its comparative empirical studies in eight European cities between Bologna and Stockholm, this book contributes to developing this new form of "social exclusion knowledge". Social security and welfare providers need to offer the infrastructure for the coping strategies developed for those in danger of being excluded. The objective is to find dynamic and multi-dimensional processes of (partial) exclusion and to identify the means of combatting it. As well as basic personal resources, the provision of local and situational means of coping is decisive. The studies featured in this volume - focusing on a range of problems of exclusion (for example poverty, housing, work, neighbourhood, position of family, women, migrants) in the context of different European welfare regimes - identify and assess the coping strategies and resources they need.

First Sentence
Much of the contemporary discussion of 'Europe' in the national press of different European member-states, as well as in other media of the new Europe, focuses, very heavily, on the one hand, on the fast-approaching launch of the common currency in eleven of the member-states, and, on the other, to a slightly lesser extent, on the prospects for the enlargement of the liberalised European market (of 370 million people and consumers) to embrace the so-called Visegrad Quartet, thereby adding a further 110 million.2 Read the first page
