International Conference : "Rescaling of Social Welfare Policies - A comparative study on the path towards multi-level governance in Europe"
This project is coordinated by the European Centre for Social Welfare Policy and Research (Vienna).
The aim of this project is to improve the information and knowledge
base for assessing intended and unintended consequences of policies
concerning multi-level governance (centralization/decentralization) in
social welfare domains such as social assistance and local policies
against poverty, employment policies, care for the elderly, and
inclusion policies for migrants. The project is to describe different
strategies and solutions in European countries which are facing
similar challenges and could thus learn from each other.
After three years of research, they present their results at a
conference in Lucerne (Switzerland), 13-14 November 2008, to a
broader public, in particular by presenting the findings to experts in
the field of social policy research, confronting the chosen approach
with scholars, practitioners and policy-makers, and developing a
dialogue about further perspectives of multi-level governance in
Europe.
