THE CONTENTIOUS POLITICS OF UNEMPLOYMENT IN EUROPE: Political Claims-making, Policy Deliberation, and Exclusion from the Labour Market

UNEMPOL Funded in European Union Framework Five.
Started in December 2001, this project is now completed.

This project aimed to advance knowledge in labour politics by focusing on the 'contentious politics of unemployment', i.e. the relationship between political institutional approaches to employment policy and political conflicts mobilized by collective actors over unemployment in the public domain. The research design operated at a six country cross-national comparative level and a transnational European level.The project has a dedicated website http://ics.leeds.ac.uk/eurpolcom/unempol/ , from which project reports and publications can be downloaded.
