This research review comprehensively explores a collection of
papers that examine the connection between social policy and
migration. The papers selected focus on the critical points of this
subject: the emergence of interest in migration and diversity, the
politicisation of migration, deservingness and restrictionism,
migrant integration and dilemmas associated with welfare provision
in diverse states among more. Professor Phillimore approaches this
important subject from a brand new perspective, drawing upon
previously disparate fields to create a comprehensive overview.
Migration and Social Policy will be of great interest to scholars
of migration, diversity and social policy, social policy
practitioners and to policymakers with responsibility in this area.
Migration-driven diversity means European cities are becoming
increasingly superdiverse. Some European neighbourhoods have become
places where newcomers arrive from across the world, speaking many
different languages, from a range of socio-economic backgrounds and
with diverse religious beliefs and practices, while living
alongside long-established migrant and white European populations.
This book focuses on what this increasing population diversity
means for how people and local health and welfare service providers
seek to address everyday health concerns - from minor and chronic
conditions to acute and urgent problems. Using an innovative
mixed-method approach crossing multiple disciplines and drawing
together rich qualitative and robust quantitative data, this book
offers unique insight into the complex and intricate actions, which
often vary over space and time, implemented by both residents and
care providers from eight superdiverse localities in four European
countries, each with different health and welfare traditions. The
book introduces the concept of welfare bricolage, using it as a
mechanism to explore the structures and rationales underpinning
need and actions, and how resources are connected across welfare
regimes and borders and within locales. The book illustrates how,
in the face of increasingly marketised, cash-strapped, restrictive
and institutionally racist welfare states and healthcare regimes,
individuals and service providers strive to address need. By
focusing on welfare regimes, migration histories, everyday actions
and resources within neighbourhoods, Exploring Welfare Bricolage in
Europe's Superdiverse Neighbourhoods offers a unique insight into
what people and providers actually do when faced with health
concerns. The book highlights the role of structure and agency and
moves beyond conventional approaches that focus on specific groups
or sectors to research health and welfare by looking at whole
populations and entire welfare ecosystems. The book's theoretical,
methodological and empirical contributions will be of use to
scholars, practitioners and policymakers interested in welfare,
healthcare, diversity and migration.

Whilst qualitative approaches are beginning to be more commonly
used and accepted in tourism, discussions of research methods have
rarely moved beyond practical considerations. Limited attention
given to the underlying philosophical and theoretical underpinnings
that influence the research process. This book links the theory
with research practice, to offer a more holistic account of how
qualitative research can be used in tourism. This book focuses
solely upon qualitative research in tourism and combines
discussions of the philosophies underpinning qualitative research
with chapters written in a reflexive style that demonstrate the
ways in which the techniques can be used. It is based on a range of
empirical tourism studies set in the context of theoretical
discussion. It demonstrates the benefits of using a range of
qualitative approaches to research tourism and the text explores
the ways in which a number of techniques, including participants
observation, memory work, biographical diaries, focus groups and
visual exercises, have been adopted by researchers from a range of
disciplinary backgrounds to undertake empirical research in
tourism. The book provides a range of case studi
In the past decade community groups have been portrayed as the
solution to many social problems. Yet the role of 'below the
regulatory radar' community action has received little research
attention and thus is poorly understood in terms of both policy and
practice. Focusing on self-organised community activity, this book
offers the first collection of papers developing theoretical and
empirically grounded knowledge of the informal, unregistered, yet
largest, part of the voluntary sector. The collection includes work
from leading academics, activists, policy makers and practitioners
offering a new and coherent understanding of community action
'below the radar'. The book is part of the Third Sector Research
Series which is informed by research undertaken at the Third Sector
Research Centre, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council
and Barrow Cadbury Trust.
This book bridges a major gap in knowledge by considering, through
a range of reflexive chapters from different disciplinary
backgrounds, both theoretical and practical issues relating to
community research methodologies. The international contributors
consider a number of key epistemological, ontological and
methodological questions. They explore what community peer research
means in a range of settings, for a range of people, for the
quality of data and subsequent findings, and for the production of
rigorous social research. The collection will also stimulate
thinking about how methodological advancement can be made in the
field. It is the first book of its kind to combine practical and
methodological reflections with clearly presented recommendations
about how the approach can be used. Presenting the latest thinking
in the field and providing summaries, case studies and review
questions, 'Community research for participation' will be
invaluable to students, researchers, academics and practitioners
who aim to place community members at the centre of their research.

The first to focus solely upon qualitative research in tourism,
this book combines discussions of the philosophies underpinning
qualitative research, with reflexive chapters that demonstrate how
these techniques can be used. Incorporating a range of case studies
written by leading international scholars, this book makes clear
the ways in which these pieces of research have been informed by
the authors' epistemological, ontological and methodological
standpoint. Based on a range of empirical tourism studies set in
the context of theoretical discussion, it demonstrates the benefits
of using a range of qualitative approaches to research tourism,
exploring the ways in which a number of techniques, including
participants observation, memory work, biographical diaries, focus
groups and visual exercises, have been adopted by researchers from
a range of disciplinary backgrounds to undertake empirical research
in tourism. An indispensable text for final year undergraduates,
Masters and PhD students embarking on research in the field, it
also will be a valuable title for academics with an interest in
either tourism research or qualitative methodology. Linking theory
with research practice, it offers a holistic account of qualitative
research in tourism.
