"Rescaling of social welfare policies - a comparative study on steps toward multi-level governance in Europe"
November 13-14, 2008
“Rescaling of social welfare policies – a comparative study of steps toward multi-level governance in Europe” is a project co-ordinated by the European Centre for Social Welfare Policy and Research (Vienna) and carried out with partners from eight countries."Rescaling of social welfare policies - a comparative study on steps toward multi-level governance in Europe"
November 13-14, 2008
The project aims to expand the knowledge base for evaluating intentional and unintentional impact of policies on multi-level governance (centralisation – decentralisation) in social welfare, such as public assistance and local anti-poverty programmes, employment practices and care for the elderly. Furthermore, it examines various strategies and solutions that can be observed in European countries facing similar challenges with a view to enabling them to learn from each other.
The conference aims are to explain the results of more than three years of research to a broader public, in particular by:
- presenting our findings to experts in the field of social policy research
- explaining the approach we used to scholars, practitioners and policy-makers, and
- building a dialogue on further perspectives of multi-level governance in Europe.
