Rezensionen

Michelle Baddeley, University of Cambridge
"Not only examines how workfare has been put into place in the United Kingdom, but also puts the place into workfare." --International Social Security Review "Putting Workfare in Place is a diligently researched and empirically rich account of the significant changes to Britain's work-welfare regime. Policymakers need to be aware of how institutional spaces and labour market conditions interact to produce local knowledges and Sunley, Martin and Nativel provide us with compelling evidence to question national assumptions of socio-economic development." --Martin Jones, Director of the Institute of Geography and Earth Sciences, University of Wales, Aberystwyth "This book lays out a thoughtful assessment of the UK's New Deal program and the extent to which its underlying theory and ideology adequately reflect the geographies of unemployment. The authors do a masterful job, and policymakers, academics, policy advisers, and politicians will find this book both compelling and considered." --Amy Glasmeier, E Willard Miller Professor of Economic Geography, The Pennsylvania State University "A thought-provoking book, raising important questions about the impact of geography not only in shaping labour markets but also in conditioning the success of workfare policies .... An inspiration for further research into the local dimensions of worklessness." --Michelle Baddeley, University of Cambridge "Not only examines how workfare has been put into place in the United Kingdom, but also puts the place into workfare."
