Social protection, globalised

This book contributes to the growing amount of literature that is concerned with the relationship between globalisation and social security. The aim of this work is, first, to clarify the impact of the globalisation process on social security systems and, second, to formulate substantive and technical proposals for the adaptation of existing social security schemes to an altered socio-economic context and for the elaboration of international legal instruments aimed at an effective substantive and procedural protection of social security as a fundamental right. The report is divided into three parts. The first part is concerned with the social impact of globalisation and its consequences for social security systems in the high-income economies. The second part looks at the effects of globalisation on social security in relation to middle- and low-income countries and examines the extent to which existing arrangements in these countries are able to provide adequate income protection to me majority of the population. Finally, the third part calls for a global approach to social security.

"Social protection, globalised" was written by Steven D'haeseleer and Jos Berghman.

Yes, "Social protection, globalised" is part of the "Sociologie Vandaag / Sociology Today" series. It's book 9 in the series.
