This text investigates the origins of collective social welfare from the early 19th-century, to set the context for an analysis of contemporary social policy from the perspective of economic and political trends since the transition of democracy in the mid 1970s. The review of policy evolution is complemented by an examination of the critical impact of social change, particularly the decline of the power of the church, regional devolution, the gender dimension and social exclusion.

Cross-National Research Methodology and Practice offers practical guidance for relative newcomers to cross-national research by analysing and evaluating the research process by focusing strongly on best practice in terms of methods and management. It raises a number of important issues for cross-national research which have been given insufficient attention in discussions of methods and practice. The volume contains reflexive and theoretically based pieces on the development of contextualization as an approach to cross-national comparative research, on qualitative and quantitative methods, extending to the integration of different methodological approaches. The volume includes practical examples of cross-national research projects which illustrate different methods ranging from: biographical and documentary approaches the collection and analysis of socio-demographic and attitudinal survey data either carried out by lone researchers or teams of researchers the exploration of internet sources and application of computer analysis to quantitative and qualitative data. This collection provides a firm emphasis on methodological issues relating to context, values and discourse.

Mental Health Care in the European Community (1985) is a study of the developments and constraints in the mental health policies of the full-member states of the European Community. Discussion is largely devoted to issues in the Sixties, Seventies and early Eighties, although the contributors have attempted to set each nation’s policies in the wider historical context. Each case study links the expansion of psychiatric services ‘in the community’ to changes occurring in the health and welfare services generally. In so doing the authors describe and assess the scale of political, financial and planning constraints – some peculiar to the country, others common to all the countries – and endeavour to outline the prospects for mental health care in the EC.

Spanish Society After Franco investigates the origins of collective social welfare from the early nineteenth century, to set the context for an analysis of contemporary social policy from the perspective of economic and political trends since the transition of democracy in the mid-1970s.

The searches by European Union major states for 'joined up' approaches to inner city regeneration are examined thematically through a focus on policy evolution since the mid-1970s.

The searches by European Union major states for 'joined up' approaches to inner city regeneration are examined thematically through a focus on policy evolution since the mid 1970s. Key issues addressed include the physical, social, employment, and urban security agenda. The product of long term research, drawing on extensive qualitative and quantitative sources at national level, backed by in depth case study investigation of five large cities, the book assesses how contemporary urban rejuvenation is being regulated, including the increasing contribution of the European Union.

This is a resource book for social scientists engaged in cross-national comparative research. It critically examines the methodological and managerial issues which arise from such work, with a particular focus on the economic and social policy agenda of the European Union. Experts from across Europe and from different disciplinary backgrounds draw upon their own experience of conducting cross-national comparisons to offer well-informed guidance on how to overcome the pitfalls and problems they have encountered.

Doktorsavhandling i historia. The focus of this doctoral dissertation is the phenomenon of the so-called original accumulation. The presentation is integrated in a study of a local material: The farm Mången and the Finnish family, who lived there between about 1650 and 1800. Through detailed investigations of demographic, fiscal, and court materials, the families are reconstructed as well as their production and value systems. In 1686 Mången and the other Finn-farms in the Hällefors-district were granted by the crown as a fiefdom to the Hällefors silverwork. The idea of a private proprietary right, a reception from the Roman law and confirmed by law in Sweden 1789, answered to the endeavours to accumulate ground properties. The driving force behind this process was the aspiration of the feudal lords to seize the whole surplus product. As relatively independent agrarian producers the Finn-peasants in Mången could save part of their surplus product for themselves. Key words: Migration, burn-beating, charcoal-burning, inventories, Mosaic law, catechetical register När finntorparen Pål Hindersson den 28 maj 1790 av Hällefors bergstingsrätt dömdes att ta lösen för sitt torp i Mången och därmed blev en jordlös proletär, berodde det inte på att Mångens jord inte längre förmådde föda honom och hans familj. Medan de första torparna i Mången hade mindre än ett tunnland odlad jord till sitt förfogande, hade Pål Hindersson, när han brukade hela den östra hemmansdelen, tio gånger så mycket. När de första åborna fick nöja sig med åtta lass hö, kunde Pål Hindersson enbart på sina ängsbärgningar öster om sjön skörda 20 lass. Liksom fallet var för hans svärfar före honom, kunde torpet, åtminstone normala år, ge honom en knapp bärgning. Något behov av extra arbetstillfällen vid bruken för att därmed kompensera en alltför svag agrar ekonomi hade han knappast. Det arbete för bruken, som han trots det utförde, bidrog istället till att undergräva hans ekonomi - att göra honom fattigare. Varför arbetade han likafullt åt bruken? Han gjorde det underkastad ett dubbelt tvång. Dels var han förhindrad att fritt använda skogen för svedjebruk. Därför kunde, vissa år i synnerhet, överlevnadsmarginalen bli alltför smal, så att han måste lita till uttag från bruksmagasinet. Dels arbetade han för Hälleforsverket på grund av ett yttre tvång, grundat i 1686 års donationsbrev. Pål Hindersson och hans familjs fattigdom före proletariseringen var inte en fattigdom, som med naturnödvändighet hade drabbat dem, eller som de själva var skulden till. Den var inte heller orsaken till deras proletarisering. Både fattigdom och proletarisering påtvingades dem av den härskande klassen.
