Public Policies and Social Inequalities in Transformation
Comparative Insights from Europe and Latin America
Synopsis
This volume examines the transformations of public policies and welfare institutions in Europe and Latin America from a comparative and interdisciplinary perspective. Drawing on the theoretical and empirical advances of the INCASI Project, it explores how states, social actors, and policy regimes have reconfigured their responses to inequality in the face of multiple crises - economic, social, environmental, and technological.
The chapters gathered here offer a multidimensional view of public policy, combining macro-structural analyses of welfare and labour regimes with micro-level studies of care, education, and digital work. They reveal the persistent tensions between state intervention, market dynamics, and social demands for equality, as well as the emergence of new institutional complementarities between predistributive and redistributive policies.
Bringing together contributions from researchers across Europe and Latin America, the book provides a critical dialogue on the future of welfare, the redefinition of social rights, and the governance of inequality in an era of digitalisation, migration, and global uncertainty. It invites readers to rethink the role of public policy as a field of democratic innovation and transnational cooperation.
