The workings of multi-level governance -- institutional choices
concerning centralisation, decentralisation and subsidiarity -- are
widely debated within European public policy, but few systematic
studies assessing the effects of changing divisions of power for
policy-making have been carried out. This volume offers an
assessment of the workings of multi-level governance in terms of
social welfare policy across different clusters of European states
-- Nordic, Southern European, Central and East European. This book
reports on a major comparative study at the European Centre for
Social Welfare policy and Research, which included partners from
univerisities in Finland, France, Italy, Norway, Sweden, Poland,
Spain and Switzerland. It reports on three particular policy areas:
social assistance and local policies against poverty; activation
and labour market policies; and care for the elderly. The authors
describe different starting points, strategies and solutions in
European countries which are facing similar challenges and could
thus learn from each other. They explore the differences between
European welfare regimes in terms of territorial responsibilities,
the changes that have taken place over the past few years and their
effects. The book is distinctive in highlighting comparative
transversal and transnational issues of multi-level governance in
social welfare policies, rather than presenting country reports.
