Sommario/riassunto

"In this timely and brilliant book Gargiulo delves into the complexity of residence and sheds light on its deeply political nature. He demonstrates that residency is somehow close to what Hannah Arendt famously called the 'right to have rights.' Through the lens of residency Gargiulo explores the multiplication of borders in the contemporary world, mutations of migration management, and the intertwining of processes of inclusion and exclusion." - Sandro Mezzadra, University of Bologna, Italy "In an era in which border walls are rising across the



globe, Invisible Borders provides an in-depth exploration of 'status borders' - internal to the nation-state - that exclude vulnerable individuals from full local membership via the administrative practices of city officials. Gargiulo's thorough and important interrogation of Italian municipal registration reverberates beyond Italy to any location in which neoliberal state practices impose regimes of local in/exclusion,further increasing the precarity of those on the margins." - Monica W. Varsanyi, City University of New York, USA This book analyses residency, a form of municipal membership that plays a strategic role in Italy, as well as in other countries. Residency is a two-faced juridical status: it is both a means for exercising rights and moving freely within a state territory and, at the same time, a tool of control which works through identification and registration. Gargiulo investigates residency both historically and theoretically, showing that the status of resident is a special kind of border, namely, a status border, which draws the lines of local citizenship. Due to the strategic role played by this status, central governments and many local authorities have tried to restrict the recognition of residency. By explaining that the mechanisms of exclusion from residency work as administrative barriers, and showing their aims and effects in terms of civic stratification and differential inclusion, this book contributes to the debates on local citizenship, borders, and discretionary power. Enrico Gargiulo is Associate Professor in Sociology at the Alma Mater Studiorum, University of Bologna, Italy. .

Sommario/riassunto

In this ground-breaking, two-volume study of the adjustment of advanced welfare states to international economic pressures, leading scholars detail the wide variety of responses in twelve countries. Rejecting any notion of convergence to some kind of neo-liberal orthodoxy, they find that most countries have remained true to the basic features of their postwar model as they have liberalized. Moreover, within different welfare-state constellations, while some countries are stillstruggling to adjust, others have reached a new sustainable equilibrium. Volume I presents comparative analyses of
