This book provides innovative insights into one of the most
controversial and important subjects of the 21st century: migration
and social integration. Empirically, the volume offers
comprehensive grounding in the relationships between migration,
migration policies and social protection/inclusion in the enlarged
European Union and its member states. Theoretically, the collection
moves the debate on migration and integration policies onto new
terrain. It explains how policies in this field are produced by
institutional frameworks, political strategy, and contingent
responses to events, but that these are themselves shaped by
emotions, discourses, narratives, formal and informal aspects of
governance. With contributions from leading international experts,
the book can be used by academics and professionals as well as by
undergraduate and postgraduate students.

This book examines the relationship between development economics,
social protection and democratization in the specific context of
Sub-Saharan Africa. Moving existing theories of transformation into
a new terrain, it sheds light on the exclusive origins of
dictatorship and democracy. The book explains how development,
social protection and democracy-enhancing policies have been
produced by existing institutional frameworks and contingent
responses to emergency events, and that these have themselves been
shaped by the actions of actors and by their embeddedness in the
surrounding political, economic, cultural and social environment.
The book also draws attention to the most relevant institutional
and social mechanisms, with associated elite strategies and power
politics relations in the creation of politically-induced
conflicts. In doing so, it highlights the important role of welfare
institutions in the reduction and reproduction of vertical and
horizontal inequalities as well as their repercussion in the
emergence of social conflicts.

This book adopts novel theoretical approaches to study the diverse
welfare pathways that have been evolving across Central and Eastern
Europe. Beyond existing path dependency and neo-institutionalist

micro-causal mechanisms, power politics, path departure, and elite
strategies.
