Participation asymmetry in EU AI governance: A longitudinal analysis of consultation demographics and regulatory outcomes
Purpose The purpose of this study is to contribute to research on democratic governance in AI regulation by answering two questions: how did participation demographics shift across the EU AI Act’s consultation phases and what mechanisms explain the pattern; and how was asymmetric participation associated with the Act’s regulatory provisions. Design/methodology/approach This study uses an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design combining quant…
Current trends, persistent challenges, and emerging opportunities of social policy implementation in Latin America and Southern Europe
Implementation represents the most crucial step in the policy process; it is at this stage where the hardest battles for policy success are fought. Implementation is also the most complex of the policy cycle stages, with the largest amount of resources and highest number of actors involved in it. In the realm of social policy, outputs and outcomes determined during the implementation stage have a direct impact on the welfare of the population. Ho…
Introduction: The implementation of social policy in Latin America and southern Europe
Research on the implementation of social policy is scant compared to research on other policy stages. Reasons like the lack of the necessary time and resources to conduct implementation research explains such gap. Yet, without research on implementation, it is impossible to reach comprehensive, deep and accurate understandings of the effects of public interventions on the welfare of the population. This article introduces the special issue on the…
Rattling Europe’s ordoliberal ‘iron cage’: The contestation of austerity in Southern Europe
This article explains the popular revolt against austerity in Southern Europe as the outcome of profound politico-economic changes that are shaped by the transformation of the European Union’s (EU’s) macro-economic governance. It comprises three parts. The first part demonstrates how ordoliberalism – the Germanic variant of (neo)liberal economic thinking – was embedded in the EU’s new macro-economic governance, in processes that constitutionalise…
Support for the Unemployed in a Familistic Welfare Regime
This chapter explores welfare support for the unemployed in Greece and its role in the reproduction of the Greek welfare regime. It consists of four sections. The first provides a conceptual framework for the concepts of ‘the welfare system’ and ‘welfare regime’, as well as an alternative conceptualisation of ‘passive’ and ‘active’ labour market policies. The second section examines the structure of employment and unemployment in light of the eco…
Family as a Socio‐economic Actor in the Political Economies of East and South East Asian Welfare Capitalisms
In this article, we revisit Karl Polanyi's concept of ‘oikos’ in order to reconceptualize the role of the family as both a welfare provider and an economic actor in the social reproduction of East and South East Asian welfare capitalisms. Our article is structured in four parts. First, we critically review existing approaches on the characteristics of welfare capitalism in East and South East Asia. We argue that existing approaches tend to isolat…
Two Decades of Social Investment in Latin America: Outcomes, Shortcomings and Achievements of Conditional Cash Transfers
Conditional Cash Transfer programmes (CCTs) have been at the core of the remarkable expansion of social protection in Latin America in the early twenty-first century. Our article reviews the origins of CCTs in the Social Investment (SI) approach to social policy design, explores their characteristics and traces their expansion in Latin America. It further questions whether CCTs designed under the influence of SI can generate long-term substantial…
Introduction: Assessing the Effects of Conditional Cash Transfers in Latin American Societies in the Early Twenty-First Century
Latin America has emerged as a social policy ‘laboratory’ in recent decades and most prominent among the social policy innovations developed in the region are the so-called Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) programmes (Cecchini et al ., 2015; Borges Sugiyama, 2011; Martínez Franzoni et al ., 2009). They have been widely promoted by international organisations across the world as policy instruments that enhance human capital and the agency of partic…
Some Useful Sources
The literature on social protection in Latin America – and more specifically on Conditional Cash Transfers (CCTs) – is substantial and growing as, increasingly, more academics from around the world seem to be attracted to social policy developments in the region and the role of CCTs in these developments. As the articles in our themed section cite many of the key sources on particular aspects of CCTs, we chose in this guide to highlight those sou…
Detached, Hostile, Adaptable and Liberalising: The Chameleon Qualities of the UK 's Relationship with EU Social Policy
In this article, we review the EU 's significance for social policies in the UK . The EU has a limited legal role or institutional capacity to directly regulate the social policies of its member states. This role is even more limited in the case of non‐eurozone countries. There are a handful of EU policy measures which have had effects on social policy in the UK . However, these effects have not changed the institutional arrangements for making, …
Familistic welfare capitalism in crisis: Social reproduction and anti-social policy in Greece
Familistic welfare capitalism is a model of national political economy prevalent in many regions in the world (Southern Europe, Latin America, and Asia), where the family plays a double role as the key provider of welfare and a key agent in the model's socio-economic and political reproduction. The article offers a new approach to the study this model by adopting an expanded concept of social reproduction to capture its historical evolution, usin…

The Greek welfare state in the age of austerity: Anti-social policy and the politico-economic crisis
Greece was the first of the countries in the EU periphery engulfed in the so-called sovereign debt crisis which, it is argued, is also a deeply political crisis. This multifaceted crisis has signalled the end of the post-dictatorship politico-economic regime in Greece and has raised serious questions about the direction of EU integration and the role of national democratic politics and national economic sovereignty within it. The background to th…
Migration and Welfare in the New Europe: Social Protection and the Challenges of Integration
Providing innovative insights, this book moves the debate on migration and integration policies in the enlarged European Union and its member states onto new terrain.
Migration and welfare in the new EuropeSocial protection and the challenges of integration: Social Protection and the Challenges of Integration
This book provides insights into one of the most controversial and important subjects of the twenty-first century: migration and social integration. Empirically, it offers comprehensive grounding in the relationships between migration, migration policies, and social protection/inclusion in the enlarged European Union and its member states. Theoretically, the collection moves the debate on migration and integration policies into new terrain. It ex…
Greek Family Policy From a Comparative Perspective
In this section, the Greek family policy is compared to the policies of other European Union countries. The aim is to seek patterns of similarity and difference, especially among the countries that constitute the periphery of the EuropeanUnion. In particular, the aim is to examine the extent to which the latter countries go in helping parents to reconcile work and family life and, in the case of the Greek family policy, how this policy sustains t…
Social exclusion, social citizenship and de‐commodification: An evaluation of the adequacy of support for the unemployed in the European Union
This article examines government support for the unemployed and their families in the European Union and attempts to demonstrate why the debate concerning the adequacy of unemployment benefit is based on a partial understanding of the income packages available to the unemployed. Conventional methods of assessing the standard of unemployment insurance have focused on the benefits available to a single head of household rather than the resources av…
