This book addresses this development, focusing on a new type of social services that has become crucial in the 'modernisation' of welfare states: activation services. The book discusses and analyses the individualisation of activation services against the background of social policy reforms on the one hand, and the introduction of new forms of public governance on the other. Critically discussing the rise of individualised social services in the light of various theoretical points of view, it analyses the way in which activation and the 'active subject' are presented in EU discourse. It compares the introduction of individualised activation services in five EU welfare states: the UK, Germany, Italy, Finland and the Czech Republic, focusing on official policies as well as policy practices. The book provides original insights into the phenomenon of the individualised provision of activation services. It is useful reading for policy makers as well as for students and researchers of welfare states, social policies and public governance. 606 $aChildren$xInstitutional care$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00855000 606 $aChild care workers$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00854363 606 $aChild care services$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00854326 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE$xSocial Work$2bisacsh 606 $aPOLITICAL SCIENCE$xPublic Policy$xSocial Security$2bisacsh 606 $aPOLITICAL SCIENCE$xPublic Policy$xSocial Services & Welfare$2bisacsh 606 $aChildren$xInstitutional care$zGreat Britain 606 $aChild care services$zGreat Britain 606 $aChild care workers$zGreat Britain 607 $aGreat Britain$2fast 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aChildren$xInstitutional care. 615 0$aChild care workers. 615 0$aChild care services. 615 0$aSOCIAL SCIENCE$xSocial Work. 615 0$aPOLITICAL SCIENCE$xPublic Policy$xSocial Security. 615 0$aPOLITICAL SCIENCE$xPublic Policy$xSocial Services & Welfare. 615 0$aChildren$xInstitutional care 615 0$aChild care services 615 0$aChild care workers 676 $a361.3 676 $a362.70941 701 $aBrannen$b Julia$0875122 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450917003321 996 $aComing to care$91953534 997 $aUNINA
