Welfare to Work in Contemporary European Welfare States

With welfare to work programmes under intense scrutiny, this book reviews a wide range of existing and future policies across Europe. Seventeen contributors provide case studies and legal, sociological and philosophical perspectives from around the continent, building a rich picture of welfare to work policies and their impact. They show how many schemes do not adequately address social rights and lived experiences, and consider alternatives based on theories of non-domination.

For anyone interested in the justice of welfare to work, this book is an important step along the path towards more fair and adequate legislation.
