Perspektiv på sociala problem har sedan den kom ut första gången blivit en av grundpelarna inom svensk utbildning i socialt arbete. Boken går igenom ett brett spektrum av teorier om sociala problem, där såväl samhälleliga strukturer som grupper, organisationer och individer uppmärksammas. Hur kan man till exempel förstå fattigdom, missbruk, prostitution, våldshandlingar med rasistiska förtecken, kvinnomisshandel och stökiga barn? Ska man söka förklaringar i samhället eller hos den enskilda individen?I denna andra omarbetade utgåva av Perspektiv på sociala problem har alla kapitel uppdaterats och ett par nyskrivna kapitel har tillkommit. Sociala problem relateras nu också till aktuella globala frågor som kapital- och folkomflyttningar, en ökande ekonomisk ojämlikhet, klimatförändringar och tillväxtkritik. I ljuset av dagens krav på att all professionell verksamhet ska vara kunskapsbaserad analyserar och särskiljer författarna olika typer av kunskap som socialarbetaren har att tillgå, och introducerar i detta sammanhang en ny form av realism.Boken riktar sig till studerande i samhällsvetenskapliga ämnen på universitet och högskola men också till yrkesverksamma inom socialt arbete, vård och andra sektorer av det samhällspolitiska området som journalister, politiker och tjänstemän i offentlig administration.

In this book Max Koch develops a theoretical model to understand the restructuring of labour markets and social structures of advanced capitalist countries on the basis of the 'regulation approach'. This approach is then applied to comparative analysis of the national trajectories of the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and Sweden. Against the background of the classical sociological theories of Marx and Weber, he examines whether there are general links between inclusion, exclusion and capitalism. This is followed by an outline of key concepts of the regulation approach and a discussion of the transition from Fordism to Post-Fordism which leads to empirically verifiable hypotheses about long-term trends in labour markets and social structures in Western Europe. These hypotheses serve as the theoretical basis for the subsequent country studies that are founded on an evaluation of international labour statistics.

Postwar employment standards are being undermined and 'non-standard' employment is becoming more common. While scholars have pointed to negative consequences of this development, this volume also discusses the evidence for a new and socially inclusive European employment standard.

Welfare is commonly conceptualized in socio-economic terms of equity, highlighting distributive issues within growing economies. While GDP, income growth and rising material standards of living are normally not questioned as priorities in welfare theories and policy making, there is growing evidence that Western welfare standards are not generalizable to the rest of the planet if environmental concerns, such as resource depletion or climate change, are considered. Sustainability and the Political Economy of Welfare raises the issue of what is required to make welfare societies ecologically sustainable. Consisting of three parts, this book regards the current financial, economic and political crisis in welfare state institutions and addresses methodological, theoretical and wider conceptual issues in integrating sustainability. Furthermore, this text is concerned with the main institutional obstacles to the achievement of sustainable welfare and wellbeing, and how these may feasibly be overcome. How can researchers assist policymakers in promoting synergy between economic, social and environmental policies conducive to globally sustainable welfare systems?Co-authored by a variety of cross-disciplinary contributors, a diversity of research perspectives and methods is reflected in a unique mixture of conceptual chapters, historical analysis of different societal sectors, and case studies of several EU countries, China and the US. This book is well suited for those who are interested in and study welfare, ecological economics and political economy.
Diversity, Standardization and Social Transformation
Gender, Ethnicity and Inequality in Europe
Häftad, Engelska, 2016

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Arranged around the themes of theorizing and policy-making, race, ethnicity and religion, gender, and class, inequality and welfare, this book addresses the question of whether the European Union tends towards diversification or standardization. It engages with issues of identity, citizenship and social justice, changes throughout the life course, social movements, the reconciliation of work and life, the increasing diversity of cultural values, and integration and immigration, whilst also examining questions of social inclusion and exclusion. Presenting a general theoretical framework for the simultaneous analysis of standardization and diversification processes, alongside detailed case studies at EU and national levels, Diversity, Standardization and Social Transformation explores the interactions between national, European and regional regulatory spaces.

As a research field, social movement and political project, degrowth is a multi-faceted phenomenon. It brings together a range of practices including alternative forms of living and initiatives of various kinds in civil society, business and the state. Yet no comprehensive theory of degrowth transformations has so far been developed. Deep transformations fills this gap. It develops a theory of degrowth transformations drawing on insights from multiple fields of knowledge, such as political economy, sociology and philosophy. The book offers a holistic perspective that brings into focus transformation processes on various scales and points to various mechanisms that can facilitate degrowth. These for instance include ecosocial policies, transformative initiatives in business and civil society, and alternative modes of being in and relating to the world.Thanks to the support of Lund University, an electronic edition of this book is freely available under a Creative Commons (CC BY-NC-ND) licence.

Arbeitsmärkte und Sozialstrukturen in Europa
Wege zum Postfordismus in den Niederlanden, Schweden, Spanien, Großbritannien und Deutschland
Häftad, Tyska, 2003

Mit dem vorliegenden Buch mochte Max Koch eine doppelte Forschungslucke in den Sozialwissenschaften schliessen: zum einen in der aktuellen Diskussion zur Krise des wohlfahrtsstaatlichen Kapitalismus den Veranderungen der Sozialstruktur mehr Aufmerksamkeit zu schenken als bisher, zum anderen die deutsche Ungleichheitsforschung um die Fragestellungen der Regulationstheorie zu bereichern, die bislang kaum von ihr aufgenommen wurde. Um die Prozesse struktureller Veranderungen in Westeuropa zu untersuchen, entwickelt er zunachst ein regulationstheoretisches Konzept, das im zweiten Schritt zur Grundlage einer empirischen Untersuchung des Wandels von Arbeitsmarkten und Sozialstrukturen in den Niederlanden, Schweden, Spanien, Grossbritannien und Deutschland gemacht wird.
