Social Europe is a key topic in the construction of the EU and its
institutions. This volume examines the current state of, and
perspectives for, Social Europe, as well as key issues in European
social policy, including the posting of workers, the impact of the
free market and regulations on social convergence, work automation,
digitalisation, taxation and democracy in the workplace. The aim of
this volume is to identify a course to be followed in integrating
the EU's social policies and point to areas in which co-operation
between member states is likely to produce best results. While a
Social Europe was previously seen to be a natural consequence of
political and economic integration, it is now viewed as a separate
area that requires active policies to preserve the European
project. The EU's big question today concerns the level at which
this policy should be pursued: the volume's contributors outline
difficulties with harmonising social policies across the Union, but
they nevertheless argue that, owing to the common challenges faced
by Europe, the idea of a Social Europe must not be abandoned and
requires specific action. The volume consists of 11 chapters
written by a variety of expert authors, analysing the idea of a
Social Europe and proposing ways in which it could be put into
practice. Social policy can no longer be seen as derived from
economic policy but rather as a separate driver of development that
could be of interest to the northern, southern and eastern states
of the EU. Jacek Kubera, PhD, Assistant Professor, Faculty of
Sociology, Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan. Tomasz Morozowski,
PhD candidate, Faculty of Political Science and Journalism, Adam
Mickiewicz University in Poznan, and analyst at the Poznan
Institute for Western Affairs.
This book is an innovative presentation of the way in which the
descendants of Muslim immigrants from Algeria in France perceive
and deal with multiple social identifications. Against the
background of the theory and methodology (such as Saussure's sign
theory, Znaniecki's sociology, and Brubaker and Cooper's concepts),
Kubera offers a new analysis into identity in a multicultural
society. The book revolves around a combination of the modernist
and post-modernist paradigms: highlighting both the constant and
situational aspects of social identity. By focusing on
identifications, the author shows how to overcome the problem of
"intangibility" of identity in research practice. Touching on
colonialism, gender, religion, migration, and racism, this will be
an important contribution to students and scholars across
sociology, anthropology, political science, law, and international
relations.

This book presents contributions from migration sociologists
inspired by Florian Znaniecki's theory and the results of his
studies to conduct their own research in countries like Austria,
China, Greece and Poland. The authors evaluate today's migration
phenomena with reference to a coherent theoretical system. The book
can be used as a manual presenting the tools for examining the
migration experience from many angles: a sense of national identity
(ethnic and civic), family ties, the importance of the social
environment in the process of an individual's integration with the
society or an evolution of entire social systems within which the
migrants operate.
