1. Maurice Roche, Rik van Berkel (eds.), European Citizenship and Social Exclusion.
Ashgate: Aldershot 1997 (304 pages)
This book has been inspired by concern for the future of social inclusion and citizenship rights in the context of the profound social, political and economic changes and challenges modern societies are faced with as the 21st century approaches. In Europe's societies, two developments in particular need to be considered, namely the crisis of the 'European Social Model' and national-level social citizenship on the one hand, and integration problems in the development of the European Union and transnational social citizenship on the other.
This book aims to explore the potential of a variety of innovative and inclusive policy strategies concerned with work and employment, and relating to the roles of civil society and citizens in this. Thus it includes studies of policies concerned with civil society's role in work and welfare policy, innovative approaches to work and employment, urban level work and income policies, and the basic-income approach to income distribution.
Furthermore, the book is concerned with the current development of the European Union and with the prospects for
EU-level social policy and citizenship policy. It aims to make a contribution to debates on the medium-term development of
EU-level policies concerned with deepening the integration of the EU by developing the general status and rights of EU citizenship and by developing citizenship-sensitive and rights-sensitive socio-economic policymaking.

2. Jens Lind, Iver Hornemann Moller (eds.), Inclusion and Exclusion: Unemployment and Non-standard Employment in Europe.
Ashgate: Aldershot 1999 (240 pages).
This book discusses aspects of work in terms of social inclusion and exclusion. It explores unemployment and non-standard employment and evaluates social and
labour-market policies and their effects in four European countries: Denmark, UK, the Netherlands and Portugal. These represent the typical welfare regimes in Europe: a Scandinavian, social-democratic model; a liberal, Anglo-Saxon model; a corporate,
'Bismarckian' model; and a southern 'variant'. The analyses provide a thorough insight into the variety of issues in recent
labour-market developments in the four countries and combine this with an overview of the major schemes and programmes designed to combat social exclusion. The book is an important contribution to the ongoing debate on the development and debate of a specific European strategy on work, unemployment and social inclusion based upon alternatives to new-liberal strategies.
