Summary

In a world where overlapping crises feel less like exceptions and more like the new normal, the question of how to promote resilience becomes central. ‘Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Resilience and the Welfare State’ examines how welfare state policies can be adapted to provide sustainable support in times of 'permacrisis'. With contributions from the fields of law, economics, political science, philosophy and psychology, this book offers both impetus for further research and suggestions for policymakers on how to design welfare state policies.With contributions byDr. Ernest Aigner | Prof. Dr. Edoardo Ales | Dr. Tania Bazzani | Dr. Michele Bertani | Dr. Katharina Bohnenberger | Priv.-Doz.
