Combatting the Causes of Inequality Affecting Young People Across Europe (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Inequality is one of the most burning issues of our time. It has increased extensively across Europe in recent years. In particular, young people have been affected. What does that depend on? How can it be understood? And most importantly, what can actors at different levels do about it? These are the driving questions of this book. The answers will draw mainly on a European research project where research has been carried out in 10 European cities.

In a theoretically ambitious analysis, this book both applies and develops a cultural political economy approach by systematically aiming at integrating dynamics of current global capitalism in the research on inequality at the local level.

Autorenporträt

Mikael Stigendal is Professor in Sociology at Malmö University, Sweden. His doctoral thesis from 1994 dealt with the Swedish societal model, from a local perspective on Malmö. Thereafter, his research has highlighted the emergence of social exclusion in European cities, particularly regarding the situation for young people. In his explanations, he has explored how societies have developed into new conditions of social inclusion. Much of his research has been carried out interactively, in collaboration with municipal employees, voluntary workers and young people.
