Poverty and Exclusion in a Global World (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

In Western Europe, the notion of social exclusion is rapidly diffusing in recent years. This book investigates the notion of social exclusion as a new way to approach social issues such as the 'new poverty' long-term-unemployment, precariousness, social polarization and disintegration. Particular attention is paid to both the global relevance of an approach in terms of social exclusion and its value compared to more conventional approaches in terms of poverty of deprivation. It is shown that social exclusion goes beyond these by explicitly embracing the relational as well as the distributional aspects of poverty and emphasizing processes. In this book, the authors explore the specific forms of social exclusion in the ongoing processes of globalization, deregulation, crisis of the welfare state, and rise of individualism.

Rezensionen

Poverty and Exclusion in a Global World is an excellent analysis of the variable conditions of social exlusions in the contemporary world. The analysis and data that the book provides, coupled with a will to policy formation that seeks to avoid the traps it outlines, is long overdue...The book should be a useful addition to the 'losers' section on any reading lists on 'the consequences of globalisation'.' - Stewart Clegg, University of Technology, Sydney
