Social Welfare Issues in Southern Europe, co-edited by Maria Brown and Michael Briguglio from the University of Malta, has been published by international academic publishers Routledge, and is now available for pre-order.
This volume is the first of its kind to discuss social welfare issues using case studies from a broad range of Southern European countries, small and large, a decade after the financial crisis. It identifies similarities and differences in the ways in which Southern European countries engage with specific welfare issues, and examines whether Southern European welfare is distinct from that of the rest of the continent.
The book also tackles the impact which COVID-19 has had on the social welfare issues under investigation. The volume is divided into four sections, featuring extensive examinations regarding employment, education, health, sexuality, globalisation, social movements and migration.
With its contributions from experts in the field, the volume is recommended for academics, researchers and students of sociology, social policy, economics, education, politics and social movements.
