Drawing on both sociology and political science literature on welfare state reforms, Zimmermann examines what shapes local policy reactions to ESF and what effects these reactions have on change in local policy fields. Comparing data from eighteen local case studies across six European countries, and deploying an innovative mixed-method approach, the book presents comparative evidence on everyday challenges in the context of the ESF and discusses how these findings are applicable to other funding schemes. -- |cProvided by publisher. 610 20 European Social Fund. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n50075157 650 0 Manpower policy |zEuropean Union countries. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008107320 830 0 Research in comparative & global social policy 902 dws |bm |6a |7m |dv |f1 |e20200311 914 (OCoLC)on1083269171 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20240710 |eprocessed |f1083269171
