The issues around settlement, belonging, and poor relief have for
too long been understood largely from the perspective of England
and Wales. This volume offers a pan-European survey that
encompasses Switzerland, Prussia, Belgium, the Netherlands, and
Britain. It explores how the conception of belonging changed over
time and space from the 1500s onwards, how communities dealt with
the welfare expectations of an increasingly mobile population that
migrated both within and between states, the welfare rights that
were attached to those who "belonged," and how ordinary people
secured access to welfare resources. What emerged was a
sophisticated European settlement system, which on the one hand
structured itself to limit the claims of the poor, and yet on the
other was peculiarly sensitive to their demands and negotiations.
