Köp båda 2 för 2110 krThe book provides a valuable contribution to the analysis of anti-poverty measures and is inevitable reading for all those who are studying the phenomenon of poverty in the 21st century. -- Filip Boji, European Journal of Social Security This book provides an extensive and comparative account of how governments go about combating poverty and social exclusion in Europe. Contributions to the volume display robust theoretical anchorage to ground the analysis of the complexities of both multi-level and multi-actor governance, while the perspectives and experiences of target groups are also assessed. Research results elicit enduring problematic aspects that are not likely to disappear when full economic recovery takes place and constitute a must-read for all those interested in how to fight social inequality. -- Ana M. Guilln, University of Oviedo, Spain The authors of this book have succeeded in developing a new and original approach to the study of combating poverty and social exclusion. Using a framework that combines insights from multi-level and network governance theory, the book analyses and compares the governance arrangements that European countries introduced in the context of active inclusion policies, and evaluates why these arrangements work or fail an ambitious and very relevant project! -- Rik van Berkel, Utrecht School of Governance, the Netherlands The editors and authors have produced a well-researched and highly relevant book that reveals the deep complexity of the task of combating poverty in Europe. -- Citizens Income Newsletter
