“…The problem of pension reform is substantially the same in Greece as in the rest of Europe. There are shared problems of social and demographic changes, alongside pressures on the welfare budget (Katrougalos and Lazaridis, 2003). Moreover, the definition of the pension reform problem in Greece has been remarkably consistent over the years.…”

Greece and EMU: Between External Empowerment and Domestic Vulnerability

EMU was an agenda determined outside Greece and it represents the importation of a radical new policy paradigm. In gaining entry into the 'euro' system, EMU has been the stimulus to profound change in Greek macroeconomic policy. However, the developing EU agenda on structural reform highlights the dilemmas of policy-making in Athens: the uncertain political commitment; the domestic vetoes from rent-seeking behaviour; and the imprecise external constraint. Threee central questions are raised here. What were the Greek priorities and expectations at the time of negotiating EMU? How did Greece qualify for entry into the euro system?. And how has Greece responded to the post-Maastricht EU agenda on structural reform? These questions relate to fundamental issues of the contemporary Greek state: the capability to bring about reform; the political and cultural impediments to reform by consensus; and the challenges posed by deeper 'Europeanization'. For the EU, the Greek case raises issues of relevance to the cohesion of the euro area and the management of the enlargement process. Copyright (c) Blackwell Publishing Ltd 2003.

“…In synthesis, based on the work of Ferrera and combining contributions by other authors, Katrougalos and Lazaridis (2003) state that Southern European welfare regime is characterized by highly fragmented and "corporatist" income maintenance systems, displaying an internal polarisation: peaks of generosity (especially regarding pensions) for privileged strata of the population (for example public officers) coexist with gaps in protection. There is, in general, a low degree of state penetration of the welfare sphere and a highly collusive mix between public and non-public actors and institutions.…”

“…Moreover, their public transfers to families are deficient, as are their public services for early childhood, family, and work reconciliation. According to Katrougalos and Lazaridis (2003) four causes are responsible for these shortcomings: the general arrangement of the Southern European social protection system; the relevant role of the Catholic Church and the countries' political-ideological configurations; the traces left by the authoritarian regimes; and the fact that policymakers refer to a precise model of family based on kinship solidarity, on intergenerational obligations, and on the idea that costs connected to caregiving and social reproduction should be covered by the families rather than the State.…”

This study compares child poverty in seven European countriesGermany, Denmark, Belgium, France, the UK, Italy, and Spain, between 1994 and 2000, identifying both macro-and the micro-level conditions thought to contribute to child poverty in each of the countries. The paper analyses correlates of child poverty in the chosen countries and offers comparative analyses across countries and regions of the European Union. In doing so, I try to build up a multilevel theory of child poverty, i.e. a micro-macro theory in which the levels interact with each other. This is done via the so-called Coleman's boat. Within such a framework, the concept of endowment is formulated and applied to account for child poverty risks. The parents' endowment is defined as a set of material and nonmaterial resources transmitted by the macro environment in which they live, accumulated or used by them in the past, made available as well as unavailable by other individuals' actions and mediated by the individuals' desires and beliefs. I claim that parental and household endowments play a major role in explaining child poverty risks, particularly if we assume that a child is poor when he or she lives in a poor household. Parents with access to a strong endowment can resort to such resources to prevent the risk of poverty for their dependent children. On the contrary, weak endowments may expose the children to higher poverty risks. We find that in Denmark, for example, the macro-level resources come into play at the micro-level and mediate the relation between child poverty risks as a function of parents' endowments and well-being outcomes. As a result, the macro structure of social risks is not reproduced in the configuration of well-being macro outcomes. In Italy and Spain, on the other hand, evidence is stronger for an intergenerational transmission of poverty.

“…Tosi 1996). O ile jednak sam przedmiot polemiki i stawiane wobec niego zarzuty -przyjmujące postać krytyki uznania biednych za zbędny element populacji i związanych z tym prób czy to biopolitycznego zarządzania (Katrougalos i Lazaridis 2003;Musterd i Ostendorf 2003), czy penalizacji i inkarceracji (Hüning 2015;Wacquant 2009) -nie są niczym nowym, to o oryginalności pracy Charlesworth stanowi przyjęta przez nią perspektywa. Autorka skupia się bowiem na jurydycznej analizie przemian osobistych uprawnień ubogich, jednocześnie starając się odzyskać tytułową "zapomnianą przeszłość" i pokazać zasadnicze przekłamanie tkwiące u podstaw negatywnie rozumianej polityki postępowania wobec biednych, tym samym dekonstruując jej wspomniane wcześniej założenia.…”

Abstrakt: Artykuł stanowi próbę rekonstrukcji przemian praw ubogich w Anglii w okresie prekapitalistycznym w oparciu o pracę Lorie Charlesworth Welfare's Forgotten Past. Istotnym kontekstem, w jakim osadzona jest niniejsza rekonstrukcja, jest historia grodzeń i dóbr wspólnych (commons), a także wywodząca się od Karola Marksa koncepcja tak zwanej akumulacji pierwotnej. Szczególną uwagę poświęcam splotowi dwóch zjawisk: utraty podmiotowych praw ubogich i ich penalizacji w formie karania za włóczęgostwo.
