It argues that the liberal paradigm of activation introduced into labour market policies in all Western European states challenges the specific patterns of social citizenship in each country.

Book Description
Using panel data for 15 industrial countries, active labor market policies (ALMPs) are shown to have raised employment rates in the business sector in the 1990s, after controlling for many institutions, country-specific effects, and economic variables. Among such policies, direct subsidies to job creation were the most effective. ALMPs also affected employment rates by reducing real wages below levels allowed by technological growth, changes in the unemployment rate, and institutional and other economic factors. However, part of this wage moderation may be linked to a composition effect because policies were targeted to low-paid individuals. Whether ALMPs are cost-effective from a budgetary perspective remains to be determined, but they are certainly not substitutes for comprehensive institutional reforms.

Book Description
This book aims at explaining the variance in legal status, working conditions, social protection and collective representation of self-employed professionals across Europe. Despite considerable diversity, the authors observe three strategic models of mobilisation: the provision of services; advocacy, lobbying and the political role; and the extension of collective bargaining. They highlight the new urgent challenges that have emerged including the implementation of universal social protection schemes, active labour market policies likely to support sustainable self-employment, and the renewal of social dialogue through bottom-up organisations to extend the collective representation of project-based professionals.

Book Description
This illuminating book examines the origins and evolution of labor market policy in Western Europe in three phases: a manpower revolution during the 1960s and 1970s; a phase of international disagreement about the causes of and remedies for unemployment, which triggered a variety of policy responses in the late 1970s and 1980s; and, finally, the emergence of an activation paradigm in the late 1990s, the influence of which continues to reverberate today. J. Timo Weishaupt contends that the evolution of labor market policy is determined not only by historical trajectories or coalitional struggles, but also by policy makers' changing normative and cognitive beliefs. Including case studies of Austria, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, this study will be of value to anyone interested in labor market policy and its governance.

Book Description
This insightful book presents a detailed analysis of the activation policies utilised by governments across Europe and the US. Editors Henning Jørgensen and Michaela Schulze bring together a wealth of experts to collate key developments in activation policies, acknowledging the different ways in which countries and governments attempt to combat unemployment and the importance of subnational governance capabilities. Contributing authors explore multiple activation policies through political, policy, polity, economic and cultural lenses, outlining the consequences of these for the unemployed and other actors involved. In particular, partisan politics and central steering experienced in the UK, Austria, Denmark, Finland, Spain, Switzerland and the US are analysed, as well as social security and labour market policies developed in the Netherlands, Norway and Germany. The book emphasises the advantages of investigating national rather than cross-national studies as they bring to the forefront crucial actors and administrative systems that affect activation reforms. Ultimately, it highlights why and how activation is developed in different ways in national systems and advocates for further research as activation is entering a new phase. Unemployment and Activation Policies in Europe and the US is an excellent resource for students and researchers specialising in comparative social policy, public policy, labour market policy and the sociology of work.
