Details

This innovative book delves into the concept of social justice in the Visegrád countries through a rigorous examination of two demographics: working mothers and the unemployed. Using new empirical data, Sára Hungler analyses the experiences of these groups from the perspectives of redistribution, recognition and representation.

Using a multidimensional approach inspired by Nancy Fraser''s scholarship, Hungler assesses the legal and social factors shaping the experiences of vulnerable groups. She employs a mixed methodology to explore the impact of EU policy on poverty and exclusion. Ultimately, this book demonstrates that there is no ‘one size fits all’ solution to the many expansive, socio-political challenges in Europe.

Social Justice, Welfare and EU Law is beneficial for academics of European law, labour law, labour policy and comparative social policy. Political scientists who are interested in the core-periphery discourse will also find it to be a vital read.
