Transformations of European Welfare States and Social Rights

The book "Transformations of European Welfare States and Social Rights" offers a comprehensive examination of social rights in Europe from a social legal perspective. It brings together the expertise of fourteen scholars from Northern and Western Europe who analyze various aspects of social rights. The topics include the regulation of social rights, the interactions between social professionals and citizens, and the mobilization of social rights by citizens. These three aspects form the structure of the anthology and illuminate the transformations regarding regulation, encounters, and mobilization of rights. The work makes a valuable contribution to the existing literature by focusing on the interdependent transformations at macro, meso, and microeconomic levels, which are crucial for understanding the processes and contexts related to social rights in Europe. It is particularly aimed at academics in the fields of sociology of law and regulation.
