Soundings a journal of politics and culture |
Soundings 8 presents critical analysis of several innovations
in welfare practice in Britain and Europe, with reflections on the different
cultural and political approaches to state-citizen relationships which
underpin them. Contributors examine crime prevention in France, projects
for migrant workers and their families in France and Sweden, the empowering
of users of mental health services in Britain, and care in the community
in Italy. The collection as a whole offers a unique perspective for modernisers
- a comparative approach which emphasises the lived experience of consumers.
