As the European Union continues to struggle to establish a common
agenda on tackling social problems, this compelling book presents a
set of comparative sociological studies in southern European
countries from leading scholars working in the region. While
political and sociological discussion is frequently focused on
northern EU member states, this book widens the debate by looking
at a series of specific social problems of southern Europe.
Contributors examine pressing social issues, such as social unrest,
Islamophobia, childhood and educational needs, deindustrialization,
unemployment and environmental degradation, addressing not only the
implications of these issues but also their societal perception and
their impact on national and regional identities. Chapters
highlight shared trends and critical regional disparities that may
improve our understanding of social problems in Mediterranean
welfare states. Featuring key research from leading academics in
the field, this book is crucial reading for scholars of sociology
and social policy working in the field of social problems,
particularly those focused on southern Europe. It will also be
beneficial to policymakers working in the region who are in need of
fresh empirical insights into the social fabric of southern
European societies. Contributors include: T. Alvarez Lorente, H.
