"This book explores the variety of energy poverty in post-communist Europe and shows how it is viewed and addressed through public policies. At a time when the European Union is developing strategies to achieve its energy transition, many citizens in the Eastern part of Europe are still struggling to have access to affordable and clean energy sources and live in highly energy-inefficient homes. While energy poverty is severely affecting parts of the region's population, only few comparative analyses have been developed so far to understand the phenomenon and its diversity throughout the region. This book aims to fill this gap by focusing on a set of countries that have undergone significant transitions over the past three decades, while still facing major challenges regarding the provision of clean and affordable energy to their citizens and the renovation of their housing stock. The chapters of this book explore the specificities of these countries by looking at the magnitude of energy poverty and at its drivers in every situation. They show how energy poverty is being viewed by policymakers and discuss critically the instruments implemented to help the energy poor. This book will be of great interest to researchers in the fields of energy policy and comparative politics, to policymakers in post-communist countries and EU institutions, and also to other relevant actors, such as companies and NGOs who focus on issues of energy poverty"--

The Welfare State is a key policy issue of the 1990s. The essays in this book depart from much of the recent economic debate in emphasising the positive contributions of the Welfare State, and in assessing its efficiency in relation to the objectives which it is intended to achieve. These objectives are not just the alleviation of poverty but more broadly the provision of security and the redistribution of income. Part A of the book sets the current debate in the context of the current evidence about income inequality and poverty in Europe. Part B analyses the existing role of the Welfare State, with particular reference to retirement pensions and unemployment benefit. Part C investigates proposals for reform and security. What is the case for greater targeting? How can we design a social safety net? What is the future of European social protection policy?
