This edited collection provides the first comprehensive study of the rise of food charity across Europe. Bringing together leading researchers across the continent, this collection explores the driving forces behind this phenomenon and its implications into the future, from a social policy perspective.
The book incorporates cases studies from Finland, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Slovenia, Spain and the United Kingdom. Each empirical case study chapter explores: the histories of food charity in the national context; key changes in social policy and their relationship to food charity; and the implications for social justice.
The result is the first book to offer a systematic comparative study of the rise of food charity across Europe. It provides urgently needed evidence on these trends which will be of use to academics, policy makers and practitioners who are grappling with the practical implications of these phenomena.Less

With welfare to work programmes under intense scrutiny, this book reviews a wide range of existing and future policies across Europe.
Seventeen contributors provide case studies and legal, sociological and philosophical perspectives from around the continent, building a rich picture of welfare to work policies and their impact. They show how many schemes do not adequately address social rights and lived experiences, and consider alternatives based on theories of non-domination.
For anyone interested in the justice of welfare to work, this book is an important step along the path towards more fair and adequate legislation.Less
