Unemployed Youth and Social Exclusion in Europe
This book confronts readers with questions emerging from the 'gap' between EU aspirations to reduce youth unemployment without increasing social exclusion - and what is actually happening in practice. Aimed at a diverse readership, it is based on a three year European Union (EU) project into education, training, guidance and employment (ETG) programmes for young adults across six countries. Insights are grounded in the lives and stories of disadv…
Individualization, the new political spectrum and the functions of adult education
The ambivalences of individualization have triggered a new discourse on social policy. The central themes in this discourse are the promotion of social integration and participation. This new political discourse has thwarted the old left‐right continuum and given rise to a new political spectrum. On one side of this new political spectrum are political perspectives that emphasize integration, solidarity, community. The authors call these collecti…

The translation of this paper has been made possible with the financial help of the Koninklijke Nederlandse Akademie van Wetenschappen (the Royal Dutch Academy of Sciences) In this paper the authors criticise the growing tendency to conceive of adult education as a qualification oriented field of practice.

This development confronts society, and adult education, with new themes …

This article suggests that institutionalization means more than simply achieving stability; it is necessary to conceive of institutionalization in more dynamic terms. Giddens' theory of structuration provides inspiration for the theoretical analysis of the institutionalization process. A sketch of institutionalization research in educational innovation …
