This article explores the role of school staff in the accessibility of education with a focus on professional discretion and its relation with institutions and contexts. Drawing on the street-level bureaucracy approach it looks into different types of discretionary practices and asks how their legitimacy influences their success. The analysis is based on different types of data and exemplary trajectories are used as illustration. Results show that discretion can be used to both increase and reduce accessibility: proactivity is elicited when societal goals are shared, but means are considered inadequate and when control over the process is high. Negative reactivity is associated with overworking and silo professional cultures.

The territorial dimension of social policies has for long been a neglected perspective in comparative social policy analysis. Scholars took for granted that social policies were national policies and almost all comparative work which has been done after the Second World War based comparisons on national data. This is not surprising; social policies developed mainly through nationally regulated social insurance programmes still absorb in all countries most resources targeted to social policies. There was also the belief that national policies, providing mainly income support, could provide the very basis for the equalization of living conditions across single countries. Within this scenario social assistance was considered a residual policy, devolved in some countries to sub-national levels of government.

ABSTRACT This article analyses how policies to foster social cohesion within diverse and unequal urban contexts are affected by New Public Management and austerity policies. Based on the analysis of a handful of governance arrangements in three cities that differ in their institutional structure and diversity policy approaches (Copenhagen, Leipzig and Milan), it is shown that negative effects are quite widespread yet cushioned by a strong welfare state structure, solid local government and high priority given to the recognition of diversity. Nevertheless, the shift towards the application of market logic to social work reduces innovative potential, increases efforts spent on procedures and weakens public coordination.

ABSTRACT Social work in Europe is facing numerous challenges in terms of promoting the participation of migrants and their descendants in super-diverse societies. This study investigates collaboration between social workers and intercultural mediators based on international debate and fieldwork in Italy. Does social work require collaboration with other professions specialised in intercultural relations? What are the characteristics of intercultural professionals? What are the pros and cons of collaboration between social workers and intercultural mediators? This study shows that local social services need to work with intercultural mediators, allowing local social services to implement various strategies for tackling cultural and linguistic barriers with their clients and rely on professionals inside or outside their own. Furthermore, intercultural mediators tend to have weak and heterogeneous training backgrounds and working conditions. This article aims to contribute to the debate on the welfare reform process to support migrants and their descendants’ equal rights and participation in society, highlighting the need for collaboration between interculturally aware social workers and intercultural mediators to tackle institutional structural weaknesses in such professions as part of an organisational innovation process in social-welfare institutions.

The chapter characterizes the Chinese migrant economic integration in Italy in three ways. First, in a globalized world, migration flows are not discrete processes, but create permanent international links through different economic channels. We identify investments, remittances, and international trade as examples of these ties. Second, migrant integration occurs at different territorial scales, with the local level being the most interesting. Chinese firms and migrant remittances are embedded in a local context, and follow the geography of territorial change. Third and most important, liabilities and outsidership are ambivalent. The statistical analysis shows that Chinese communities would not have filled the gap left in Italian industrial districts by the industrial decline in the textile sector without their connection to their homeland. The growth of second-generation migrants and their embeddedness in the local communities of the receiving country is strategic, drawing a picture of a transilient migrant community.

This article presents a comparative analysis of some policies in different European countries during and after the great crisis of 2008. The aim is to assess the role of active labour market policies in favouring inclusivity and resilience of labour markets for european youth as they are stilla very vulnerable group in a wide number of european societies. Observing the policies oriented toward employment or human capital development and understanding their ideological orientation, we can highlight a common trend oriented to supply side policies, a rise in conditionality and supported by strong fiscal incentives to companies. Apart from this trend still exist strong national differences in the mix and in the effectivity of the policies implemented.
