This volume, edited by one of Europe's foremost sociologists, aims to assess the debates surrounding poverty and the responses to it, exploring the ways in which the various socio-political systems and welfarist regimes are being radically transformed. The essays examine how such change is effected by failing welfare programmes and enervating social structures such as family and community which once would have provided mechanisms of social stability.The first part of the book provides re 410 0$aStudies in urban and social change. 606 $aUrban poor 606 $aUrban poor$zEurope 606 $aPeople with social disabilities 606 $aPeople with social disabilities$zEurope 606 $aHomelessness 615 0$aUrban poor. 615 0$aUrban poor 615 0$aPeople with social disabilities. 615 0$aPeople with social disabilities 615 0$aHomelessness. 676 $a362.5 676 $a362.509173 676 $a362.5091732 701 $aMingione$b Enzo$034233 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910841892703321 996 $aUrban poverty and the underclass$92226298 997 $aUNINA
