Poverty is not a neutral phenomenon, nor are social inclusion
programmes neutrally conceived, designed and implemented.Their
ultimate nature is built upon ideas, values, actors, politics and
economic constraints.This topical book is one of the first to
examine the social and political construction of anti-poverty
programmes in Central Eastern Europe and their transformation from
communist rule to the current economic crisis. It covers the
approach towards the 'parasite' poor through to Guaranteed Minimum
Income Schemes and illustrates how the distinction between
different categories of 'deserving' and 'undeserving' poor has
evolved over the years as the result of changing paradigms,
combined with the pressure exerted by domestic and international
actors, the European Union and the World Bank among others. This
text breaks new ground for social policy students and scholars
interested in understanding how differently post-communist welfare
states have represented, legitimised and dealt with poverty, need
and social justice in accordance with divergent normative
frameworks constructed at national level.
