商品簡介
The result of a sustained collaboration encompassing scholars of sociology, social policy, and politics at a number of European universities. Disparate assumptions and approaches underlie the 11 essays, which consider such topics as some problems of meaning when identifying social exclusion, a theoretical exploration of the flexibility of labor, poverty and social exclusion as challenges to theories of class and social structure, ideas of social justice and the welfare state in Germany and the Netherlands, and the socio-cultural exclusion and self-exclusion of foreigners in Finland.
