Comments
What is a ‘social problem’, what is not? What are legitimate means of addressing them? Following decades of neoliberal offensive against the welfare state, post-communist countries have found themselves with a set of most often externally-defined “social problems”, to be tackled with communist-era institutions. Discrimination, gender and family policy, poverty, drug addiction, crime, disability and many others: these cases of hotly debated “social problems” and the means enacted to tackle them in post-communist Europe inform and structure our seminar, together with theoretical texts in the sociology of social problems and deviation. close
