In The Politics of Social Inclusion and Labor Representation, Heather Connolly, Stefania Marino, and Miguel Mart?nez Lucio compare trade union responses to immigration and the related political and labour market developments in the Netherlands, Spain, and the United Kingdom. The labor movement is facing significant challenges as a result of such changes in the modern context. As such, the authors closely examine the idea of social inclusion and how trade unions are coping with and adapting to the need to support immigrant workers and develop various types of engagement and solidarity strategies in the European context.
Traversing the dramatically shifting immigration patterns since the 1970s, during which emerged a major crisis of capitalism, the labor market, and society, and the contingent rise of anti-immigration sentiment and new forms of xenophobia, the authors assess and map how trade unions have to varying degrees understood and framed these issues and immigrant labor. They show how institutional traditions, and the ways that trade unions historically react to social inclusion and equality, have played a part in shaping the nature of current initiatives. The Politics of Social Inclusion and Labor Representation concludes that we need to appreciate the complexity of trade-union traditions, established paths to renewal, and competing trajectories of solidarity. While trade union organizations remain wedded to specific trajectories, trade union renewal remains an innovative, if at times, problematic and complex set of choices and aspirations.

Inclusive Society and Social Work - The Netherlands (Maria Josй Freitas, Jhoy Dassen, Chantal van Lieshout, Samira Louali, MarijkeSniekers, Carin Wevers) 2.1.1. Inclusive Society - A Developing Discourse2.1.2. Illustrating the Participation Paradox2.1.3. Observations AbstractConcepts like inclusion have been overtaken by the rhetoric of the Dutch Government's restructuring of national welfare policy and its proclaimed 'participation society'. Dutch citizens are being called upon to find ways to realize their own well-being and to build a better society together. The underlying ideal of the participation society - everybody is included and everyone can take part - can also be deemed as a moral imperative. For some participation is a legal obligation. Those unable to meet that standard run the risk of exclusion. As a result, the demand for participation, and the requirements as to the how and where of this participation, combine to achieve the exact opposite of its intended purpose: the participation paradox. Social workers are part of the change processes occurring in the Netherlands and they are taking on a variety of new roles in their plight to support the more vulnerable members of society. 2.2. Inclusive Societies and Social Work: the Spanish Case (Cаndid Palacнn, Josefa Fernбndez Barrera, Josep Maria Mesquida Gonzбlez, Marнa Virginia Matulič Domandzič, Ariadna Munte Pascual, Irene de Vicente Zueras) 2.2.1. The Main Actors Involved in the Discussion for an Inclusive Society: The Role of the Public and the Third Sectors2.2.2. The Case Study: The Four Pieces of Research Involved2.2.3. Social Work and Inclusion in Relation to Target Groups Being Part of the Research AbstractThe subject is the notion of inclusive society in relation to Social Work role, and the objective is to investigate the trajectories through the social space of four groups whose circumstances question the mentioned concept. The subjects of the research are homeless people, immigrants, older gays and Roma migrant women. They have been examined separately in four research studies, looking for the common aspects of all of them in relation to the issue of the inclusive society and the role of Social Work. Most of the research shows the importance of relational processes through the concepts of the generation of spaces of trust, proximity, accompaniment and identification mechanism, with the knowledge of the other. In addition, collective interventions have facilitated actions to raise awareness, social transformation, networking and participation. The third sector is configured as a space of attention, confidence and reference that seems absent in public services. 2.3. Inclusive society within the frame of transition society: an example from the Republi

Описание: What should be the contours of public policy for crucial sectors in the Indian context? The real debate today is about finding the right balance between market forces and government for Pareto efficiency. Stiglitz posited “that government could potentially almost always improve upon the market’s resource allocation.” In reality, besides the institutional inertia, fragmented design and action often impedes execution of rational policy. The lack of non-governmental inputs, absence of debate and systematic analysis prior to policy making results in ineffective policy formulation and action, obstructing the process of economic development. The study of public policy in commodity production (agriculture, industry), as well as tertiary sectors (services, trade and transport) is important to arrive at efficient and people friendly governance structures.
The collection of papers in the present volume, attempt at the development of an analytical framework for the formulation of development policy, bearing on crucial segments of the economy and society mainly, agriculture sector, industrial development, employment and entrepreneurship, urbanisation, weaker sections, and governance issues.
Nineteen chapters comprising the volume are organised under four sections: Section 1 Issues in Agriculture Sector; Section 2 Industrial Development, Employment and Entrepreneurship; Section 3 Issues in Sustainable Urbanisation; Section 4 Governance Structure and Development Outcomes.
The papers appearing in the volume were presented at a seminar funded by the Indian Council of Social Science Research.
