This book provides an extensive and comparative account of how
governments go about combating poverty and social exclusion in
Europe. Contributions to the volume display robust theoretical
anchorage to ground the analysis of the complexities of both
multi-level and multi-actor governance, while the perspectives and
experiences of target groups are also assessed. Research results
elicit enduring problematic aspects that are not likely to
disappear when full economic recovery takes place and constitute a
must-read for all those interested in how to fight social
inequality.' - Ana M. Guillen, University of Oviedo, Spain'The
authors of this book have succeeded in developing a new and
original approach to the study of combating poverty and social
exclusion. Using a framework that combines insights from
multi-level and network governance theory, the book analyses and
compares the governance arrangements that European countries
introduced in the context of active inclusion policies, and
evaluates why these arrangements work or fail - an ambitious and
very relevant project!' - Rik van Berkel, Utrecht School of
Governance, the Netherlands Discovering methods to combat poverty
and social exclusion has now become a major political challenge in
Europe. Combating Poverty in Europe offers an original and timely
analysis of how this challenge is met by actors at European,
national and subnational levels. Building on a European study
comparing Germany, Italy, Poland, Sweden and the UK, this book
provides new insights into the processes and mechanisms that
promote or hinder interaction between the increasingly
multi-layered European system for responding to poverty and social
exclusion in EU member states. The contributors present systematic
and comparative analyses of social policy design, institutional
frameworks and delivery practices from a multi-level governance
perspective. Original and diverse, this book will appeal to
researchers and scholars in comparative social policy, as well as
policy officials in the EU, national government and anti-poverty
NGOs. Contributors include: A. Angelin, H. Bennett, D. Clegg, M.
