Public social services are increasingly being individualised in
order to better meet the differentiated needs of competent and
independent citizens and to promote the effectiveness of social
interventions. This book addresses this development, focusing on a
new type of social services that has become crucial in the
'modernisation' of welfare states: activation services. The book
discusses and analyses the individualisation of activation services
against the background of social policy reforms on the one hand,
and the introduction of new forms of public governance on the
other. Critically discussing the rise of individualised social
services in the light of various theoretical points of view, it
analyses the way in which activation and the 'active subject' are
presented in EU discourse. It compares the introduction of
individualised activation services in five EU welfare states: the
UK, Germany, Italy, Finland and the Czech Republic, focusing on
official policies as well as policy practices. The book provides
original insights into the phenomenon of the individualised
provision of activation services. It is useful reading for policy
makers as well as for students and researchers of welfare states,
social policies and public governance.
