| Abstract: | This contribution deals with the integrative model underpinning contemporary European social policy. It was conceived as a comment on the article by O'Brian and Penna, addressing the same topic and published in this issue of IJSW . The author looks at processes of social inclusion/exclusion through the lens of political theory and the notion of citizenship, which is at its core. Based on this approach, the comment provides a perspective that in many respects is complementary to the conceptual analysis presented by O'Brian and Penna in their article. |
