The New Package Deal --APPENDIX --NOTES --REFERENCES --INDEXAcross the political spectrum, unwed fatherhood is denounced as one of the leading social problems of today. Doing the Best I Can is a strikingly rich, paradigm-shifting look at fatherhood among inner-city men often dismissed as "deadbeat dads." Kathryn Edin and Timothy J. Nelson examine how couples in challenging straits come together and get pregnant so quickly-without planning. The authors chronicle the high hopes for forging lasting family bonds that pregnancy inspires, and pinpoint the fatal flaws that often lead to the relationship's demise. They offer keen insight into a radical redefinition of family life where the father-child bond is central and parental ties are peripheral. Drawing on years of fieldwork, Doing the Best I Can shows how mammoth economic and cultural changes have transformed the meaning of fatherhood among the urban poor. Intimate interviews with more than 100 fathers make real the significant obstacles faced by low-income men at every step in the familial process: from the difficulties of romantic relationships, to decision-making dilemmas at conception, to the often celebratory moment of birth, and finally to the hardships that accompany the early years of the child's life, and beyond.FatherhoodUnited StatesPoor childrenUnited StatesSingle fathersUnited StatesUnmarried fathersUnited Statesanthropology.blended families.career.character.children.class.cultural changes.deadbeat dads.engaging.familial process.family.fatherhood.gender and sex.gender studies.human rights.incarceration.inner city men.morals.poverty.prison.race and culture.race.relationships.romantic relationships.social issues.social problems.social science.social work.socioeconomic studies.sociology of urban areas.sociology.understanding men and boys.unmarried fathers.unwed fatherhood.urban issues.urban poor.virtue.FatherhoodPoor childrenSingle fathersUnmarried fathers362.82/940973Edin Kathryn1962-1041137Nelson Timothy Jon1541901MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786228703321Doing the best I can3794281UNINA06021nam 22005655 450 991030058130332120231103224006.03-319-90620-810.1007/978-3-319-90620-1(CKB)4100000004974900(MiAaPQ)EBC5438616(DE-He213)978-3-319-90620-1(EXLCZ)99410000000497490020180628d2018 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierGambling Policies in European Welfare States Current Challenges and Future Prospects /edited by Michael Egerer, Virve Marionneau, Janne Nikkinen1st ed. 2018.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Palgrave Macmillan,2018.1 online resource (322 pages)Work and Welfare in Europe3-319-90619-4 1.

Conclusion: Contradictions in Promoting Gambling for Good Causes; Virve Marionneau, Janne Nikkinen & Michael Egerer.‘This wide ranging and comprehensive volume for the first time situates the growing complexities of European gambling in their wider socio-economic context. Highly readable and engaging, the chapters explore important issues such as welfare and justice, ethics and competition, and the role of law and the state. In doing so, the volume tackles the political and regulatory patchwork that characterises gambling provision across Europe, as well as suggesting some innovative ways of thinking about its future.’ Gerda Reith, University of Glasgow, UK ‘This volume goes beyond the often limited focus in gambling studies and gambling policies on legal arguments and cost-benefit analyses of national gambling markets, by revealing and analyzing the very diverse, highly controversial and complex contradictory relationships between gambling markets, public interests and the EU context.’ Sytze F. Kingma, VUniversity Amsterdam, Netherlands This edited book draws on a cross-cultural and historical lens to theoretically and practically analyse gambling regulations and the use of gambling revenue. It takes on a broad spectrum of perspectives, from the origin of the money, to the regulators, operators and beneficiaries of gambling, and looks at the interests, networks and power relations involved. This multidisciplinary collection elicits a shift in analysis, shedding light on a broader societal, historical and economic view of gambling and gambling policies, by its attention to implicit networks of power, influential legislation, gambling provision and infrastructure. Gambling Policies in European Welfare States will be of interest to students and scholars alike who are seeking cross-national and interdisciplinary analyses of welfare, politics, sociology and economics. .Work and Welfare in EuropeWelfare stateSocial policySocial servicePolitics of the Welfare Statehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X33050Social Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34020Comparative Social Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X33020Social Work and Community Developmenthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X33080Welfare state.Social policy.Social service.Politics of the Welfare State.Social Policy.Comparative Social Policy.Social Work and Community Development.795Egerer Michaeledthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMarionneau Virveedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtNikkinen Janneedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910300581303321Gambling Policies in European Welfare States1910260UNINA
