  Since the first edition of Social Europe was published in 1992 profound social changes have occurred throughout Europe as a result of conflicting pressures on the one hand to become more integrated and on the other to protect national interests and identity. This second edition of Social Europe has been fully revised to provide a comprehensive and focused account of basic social issues and structures which provide the context for these changes. Each chapter covers a key topic such as education, crime, gender, health and religion and provides valuable comparisons between the key nation states of Western Europe.

  This book is about modern western European societies. It is concerned both with the individual national societies that go to make up western Europe and with the potential unity of these societies. This book of specially commissioned essays by British sociologists can be seen as contributing to a sociology of, for and in Europe. It does not attempt to be comprehensive; for instance there is no explicit treatment of poverty or of culture. But it does try to lay out some of the most basic conditions and consequences of major social changes taking place now across Europe.
