This volume provides a comprehensive analysis of how politics shape
housing markets and vice-versa. It demonstrates how housing impacts
a variety of social and political phenomenon including populist
politics, generational divides, wealth inequality, monetary policy,
and the welfare state. Housing and housing markets have important
implications for economic stability, public policy, domestic
politics and wealth inequality in Europe and beyond. Yet despite
its importance, housing has received relatively little attention in
comparative politics scholarship. The contributions within this
volume push the scholarship of housing into fresh, innovative
directions. The chapters focus on housing’s contribution to
wealth inequality, how housing constrains governments’ policy
choices in welfare state reform and how it can strengthen
governments’ hands in financial regulation. Other contributions
reveal the impact of housing on central bankers’ motivations for
implementing monetary expansion, highlight the generational divide
in gaining access to home-ownership, demonstrate how housing-driven
wealth inequality steers voters political preferences towards
right-wing populism, and explain how housing gradually shifted from
being a social right to an object of investment in Europe, even
within its most egalitarian states. These contributions cover a
diversity of cases in Western and Eastern Europe and theoretical
paradigms that will appeal to scholars and policy makers alike. The
chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue
of West European Politics.

Ranging from influence over world trade laws affecting health to
population health issues such as obesity to the use of comparative
data to affect policy, the EU's public health policies are
increasingly important, visible, expensive and effective. They also
provide an invaluable case study for those who want to understand
the growth and impact of the EU as well as how states can affect
their populations' lives and health. European Union Public Health
Policy capitalizes on extensive new research, providing an
introduction to the topic and indicating new intellectual
directions surrounding the topic. An introductory section and
extended conclusion explore the meaning of public health, the
relationship of EU public health policy to health care policy, and
the place of public health in the study of European integration and
Europeanization. Focusing on health system transformation, global
health governance and population health, the chapters address:
Relevant policy issues and EU policies; Effects of the EU policies
on practice or outcomes; An explanation of the policy trajectory;
Current issues and likely future directions or conflicts. Drawing
together an international and multidisciplinary selection of
experts, this volume is an important contribution for all those
interested in public health policy, EU health policy and EU
governance.

What effect is market integration having on national cultures and social policies? Paulette Kurzer examines Finnish and Swedish alcohol policy, Dutch drug decriminalization policy, and the Irish ban on abortion. She finds that regional integration is leading to adjustments that bring abortion, drug policy, and restrictive drinking measures into closer alignment within the EU. Kurzer's conclusion is that shifts in values and attitudes, affected in part by EU market integration, are bringing about a gradual convergence in morality norms.
