The Political and Social Construction of Poverty: Central and Eastern European Countries in Transition

Serena Romano

doi:10.46692/9781447312734

This topical book examines the social and political construction of anti-poverty programmes in Central and Eastern Europe, and their transition from communist rule to the current economic crisis. It illustrates how the distinction between different categories of ‘deserving’ and ‘undeserving’ poor has evolved as the result of changing paradigms.
