Titre : Social equality Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Carina Fourie, Auteur ; Fabian Schuppert, Auteur ; Ivo Wallimann-Helmer, Auteur Editeur : Oxford University Press Année de publication : 2015 Importance : 242 p ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-933110-9 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : This volume presents new analyses of social and relational equality in philosophy and political theory. The chapters analyze the nature of social equality and its relationship with justice and with politics. Is equality valuable? This question dominates many discussions of social justice. These discussions tend to center on whether certain forms of distributive equality are valuable, such as the equal distribution of primary social goods. They tend to neglect what is known as social or relational equality. Social egalitarians often argue that this form of equality is a more fundamental notion of equality than distributive equality. Rather than being primarily about distribution, equality, they claim, is foremost about relationships and interactions between people. When an appeal is made to the value of equality, primarily this means the value of egalitarian and nonhierarchical relationships, and not of distributions. The ideal of social equality features heavily in the history of the development of equality as an important part of political theory, and a number of contemporary philosophers have written about the significance of this form of equality. It has also played an important role in real-life egalitarian movements. However, as it has been relatively neglected—it requires much more theoretical attention. This book is an attempt to help to redress this neglect by providing in-depth analyses on the nature and distinctiveness of socially egalitarian relationships. Réservation

Titre : Welfare and the great recession : a comparative study Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Stefan Olafsson, Éditeur scientifique ; Mary Daly, Éditeur scientifique ; Olli Kangas, Éditeur scientifique ; Joakim Palme, Éditeur scientifique Editeur : Oxford University Press Année de publication : 2019 Importance : 334 p ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-883096-2 Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : This book surveys and analyses the welfare consequences of the Great Recession in Europe and investigates how the burdens of the crisis were shared—between countries, between different socio-economic groups across Europe, and within individual countries. The studies are based on broad comparisons of 30 countries and deeper analyses of 9 country cases. The approach is grounded in classical theories about crisis responses and relates financial hardship to institutional characteristics—such as welfare regimes, currency regimes, socio-political patterns, affluence levels, public debt, and policy reactions during the crisis period—for example, stimulus versus austerity, the degree of social protection emphasis, the commitment to redistribution, and the significance of activation. Welfare and the Great Recession offers new evidence on and demonstrates the importance of the welfare state and government policies with regard to sheltering populations from the level of living consequences of serious economic contraction and distributing burdens in a crisis situation. The book offers various lessons from the crisis experience in Europe and ends with a discussion about welfare futures in a globalized, crisis-prone environment. Réservation
