The Social Question in the Global World
In an era of rapid globalisation, how can the changes that characterise how the social question is addressed in rich and emerging countries be analysed? How can one interpret the crisis in the Welfare State and the emergence of new social policies that push for the financial contribution of beneficiaries and the development of new forms of solidarity? What can be said about the world’s poorest countries and their recurrent difficulty in benefiting from international aid to fight against poverty and ensure the protection of all people? This volume brings together 24 researchers from around the world to analyse a series of case studies of developed, emerging and developing countries. They st...
Causal Mechanisms in the Global Development of Social Policies
This open access edited volume introduces the concept of causal mechanisms to explore new ways of explaining the global dynamics of social policy, and shows that a mechanism-based approach provides several advantages over established approaches for studying social policy. The introductory chapter outlines the mechanism-based approach, which stands out by modularisation and a clear focus on actors. The mechanism-based approach then guides the twelve chapters on social policy developments in different Asian, African, European and Latin American countries. Based on these findings, the concluding chapter provides a structured compilation of causal mechanisms and outlines how a mechanism-based approach can further strengthen research on the global development of social policies, especially in a comparative perspective. The edited volume is highly relevant for social policy scholars from a variety of disciplines, as well as for scholars interested in strengthening explanation in the social sciences.
Lineages of Modernity
In most developed countries there is a palpable sense of confusion about the contemporary state of the world. Much that was taken for granted a decade or two ago is being questioned, and there is a widespread urge to try and understand how we reached our present situation, and where we are heading. In this major new book, the leading sociologist, historical anthropologist and demographer Emmanuel Todd sheds fresh light on our current predicament by reconstructing the historical dynamics of human societies from the Stone Age to the present. Eschewing the tendency to attribute special causal significance to the economy, Todd develops an anthropological account of history, focusing on the long-...

Tracce di famiglia
Una delle chiavi interpretative più longeve nel dibattito sui divari dello sviluppo socioeconomico è costituita dal paradigma familista, che attribuisce la principale responsabilità dell'accidentata performance economica di alcuni contesti territoriali a specifici tratti socioculturali ben sedimentati in modelli familiari esclusivi, vocati alla massimizzazione del proprio profitto in assenza di una civicness diffusa. Questo volume si propone di ripercorrere le tracce più profonde lasciate dall'approccio familista nel corso di oltre settant'anni di dibattito sulla doppia velocità di crescita del Sistema-Paese, e di decostruirne criticamente le principali declinazioni analitiche, allo sco...
Des protestantismes en "lusophonie catholique"
Des protestants dans les " pays portugais " ? Ne sont-ils pas tous catholiques ? La situation contemporaine est bien plus complexe. Personne ne nie le rôle historiquement structurant du catholicisme au Portugal, au Brésil, dans les pays africains de langue officielle portugaise et dans les communautés émigrées. Le protestantisme est certes minoritaire dans chaque pays concerné, mais la notion de marge qui peut en découler est bien différente selon les terrains. Au Portugal, la lente renaissance du protestantisme au XIXe siècle n'a pas remis en cause l'hégémonie catholique. En revanche au Brésil, le protestantisme, depuis les traditions luthériennes issues de l'immigration allema...
