It assesses the extent of the gap between the social policy objectives set through regulatory competences in multi-level governance and the structure of incentives it breeds in practice, with a broad range of implications for the capacity of the government to control for an equitable distribution of services at the community level. The chapters emphasize the educational selectivity involved in national policy decisions concerning ESF implementation in the five countries, the role of informal mechanisms in fine-tuning implementation, the negative effects of formalization and failures in accommodating the complexity of goals which characterizes the ESF, as well as the overall fairness of ESF implementation towards the most disadvantaged groups in society. The empirical analysis suggests that social-service delivery contracting as an instrument of governance is no longer regulating against risks for beneficiaries, but fuels increased social division in access to public services. 606 $aEducation$xEconomic aspects$zEurope, Central$xCross-cultural studies 606 $aEducation and state$zEurope, Central 615 0$aEducation$xEconomic aspects$xCross-cultural studies. 615 0$aEducation and state 702 $aPop$b Daniel 702 $aSta?nus?$b Cristina 801 0$bWaSeSS 801 1$bWaSeSS 801 2$bUkMaJRU 912 $a9910765766303321 996 $aThe governance of educational welfare markets$93651846 997 $aUNINA
