Divided Europe

An examination of the social and territorial divisions within Europe. Topics covered include: gendered and regional changes in employment; social integration and citizenship issues arising from migration and racial differences; and welfare state responses to the growing number of older people. The deepening social and territorial divisions within Europe are examined in this comprehensive and authoritative book. Using a global perspective, the contributors argue that social and territorial cleavages are inextricably linked, and that only a detailed examination of economic, political and geographical differences can lead to a clearer understanding of the social tensions and inequalities that exist across Europe. Topics covered include: gender; age; social integration; citizenship; and migration and race in Europe′s complex and changing territorial system.
