Sommario/riassunto

This e-book is the first of a set of two special issues on new modes of governance in activation policies. Nowadays, the concept of ""governance"" is widely used by social scientists from a variety of disciplines. Reforming governance has become a part of the strategies that governments develop to cope with processes of social change. This e-book looks at one specific area of social policies, activation policies.
