Social Reformism 2.0 - Work, Welfare and Progressive Politics in the 21st Century: Maurizio Ferrera, Joan Miró, Stefano Ronchi Social Reformism 2.0 - Work, Welfare and Progressive Politics in the 21st Century

Automation, digitalisation, the post-industrial transition and climate change are creating new social risks which are not adequately supported by established welfare state institutions. In this timely book, Maurizio Ferrera, Joan Miró and Stefano Ronchi propose critical social and institutional policy reform in response to the nation state’s inability to maintain a balanced ecosystem between democracy, the market economy, welfare and the rule of law. Social Reformism 2.0 provides a diagnosis of the critical issues facing the welfare state, namely the transition to post-industrialisation, globalisation and European integration, and the fourth technological revolution. Situating the European social model within a multi-crisis context, this book surveys the current reform trends in social policy, addressing decades of global development, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the climate emergency, before proposing a number of strategic policy reforms. It ultimately champions a transition towards a greener economy and a realignment of progressive politics, highlighting the central role Europe plays in coordinating and stimulating change. Offering a highly detailed yet accessible critique, this socially pertinent study will strongly appeal to students and academics with an interest in political science, European studies, sociology, social and public policy analysis and welfare state research. It will also highly benefit policymakers, bureaucrats, practitioners and stakeholders involved in social governance processes at a national and European level.

*Welfare state development in an historical perspective
*Poverty trends and anti-poverty policies
*Debates and initiatives in the field of minimum income.
The book includes a comparative introduction, which highlights the features of South European welfare states and an additional chapter illustrates developments occurring in the countries of Eastern and South Eastern Europe, discussing to what extent the experience of Southern Europe can be a useful point of reference for these countries.

R990 Discovery Miles 9 900 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This volume presents research on the recasting of European welfare states from the European Forum on Welfare at the European University Institute in Florence. The chapters include both comparative analyses of topical issues (such as reforms of the major social programmes: pensions, health, social security and the changing political cleavages in welfare politics), and in-depth studies of changes in the major European countries.
The objectives are: to analyze the impact of retrenchment; reform and add to the ongoing debates about policy convergence; the origins of pressures for reform (domestic and internal); the shifting balance of power between modernizers and vested interests; and the nature of the trade-offs involved in social policy innovation and the outcomes in terms of cost saving, resource redeployment and equality.

The Boundaries of Welfare - European Integration and the New Spatial Politics of Social Protection (Hardcover, New): Maurizio... The Boundaries of Welfare - European Integration and the New Spatial Politics of Social Protection (Hardcover, New)

To what extent has the process of European integration re-drawn the boundaries of national welfare states? What are the effects of such re-drawing? Boundaries count: they are essential in bringing together individuals, groups, and territorial units, and for activating or strengthening shared ties between them. If the profile of boundaries changes over time, we might expect significant consequences on bonding dynamics, i.e. on the way solidarity is structured in a given political community. The book addresses these two questions in a broad historical and comparative perspective. The first chapter sets out a novel theoretical framework which re-conceptualizes the welfare state as a 'bounded space' characterized by a distinct spatial politics. This reconceptualization takes as a starting point the 'state-building tradition' in political science and in particular the work of Stein Rokkan. The second chapter briefly outlines the early emergence and expansion of European welfare states till World War II. Chapters 3 and 4 analyse the relationship between domestic welfare state developments and the formation of a supranational European Community between the 1960s and the 2000s, illustrating how the process of European integration has increasingly eroded the social sovereignty of the nation-state. Chapter 5 focuses on new emerging forms of sub-national and trans-national social protection, while Chapter 6 discusses current trends and future perspectives for a re-structuring of social protection at the EU level. While there is no doubt that European integration has significantly altered the boundaries of national welfare, de-stabilizing delicate political and institutional equilibria, the book concludes by offering some suggestions on how a viable system of multi-level social protection could possibly emerge within the new EU wide boundary configuration.
