Welfare racism is a combination of racial discrimination in the welfare system and racist discourses used in the name of the welfare state. Presenting a global overview of discourses of welfare racism across the world by institutional actors, public figures, political parties, and mass media, this book examines the evolution, character, role, and consequences of racialized welfare discourse towards immigrants, asylum seekers, and BIPOC.This volume explores how racialized welfare discourse fuels and legitimises inequality, as well as its role in public policies concerning social citizenship, and its role as a structural element of migration policies and welfare policies. The chapters focus on a variety of global contexts to analyse how welfare racism is linked to the historical development of the welfare state, the dismantling of social welfare in Western countries, the structures and practices of public administration, the intertwining of welfare racism and welfare classism, political discourses, the media, and the role of far-right parties, academics, and professionals in the spread of racialized welfare discourse.Presenting a novel, in-depth study of the phenomenon from a critical racism perspective, this book expands knowledge on the ideological-discursive dimension of welfare racism. It will appeal to scholars, post-graduate students, and professionals with interests in inequality, migration, public discourse, communication, mass media, social policy, and welfare.

OECDと世界銀行におけるエコ社会政策
Schulze Waltrup, Robin, Eco-Social Policy in the OECD and the World Bank: Global Governance and Social-Ecological Transformation. 272 pp. 2025:9 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <753-471>

This book explores eco-social policy and its role in the global governance system. By focusing on the eco-social policy discourses of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the World Bank, this book provides a comprehensive analysis of how and to what extent these influential international organisations integrate environmental and social concerns and promote an integrated eco-social policy perspective. While the OECD and the World Bank promote crucial elements of eco-social policy integration, the book argues that they fall short of pushing toward a social-ecological transformation within global governance that profoundly focuses on the decommodification of nature and labour. Drawing on different concepts, including Polanyi's notion of the double movement, it shows how there are partly contradictory policy perspectives on eco-social policy integration in both organisations, which eventually stabilise the existing capitalist mode of production, albeit with green conditions. Through its in-depth exploration of the eco-social policy discourses of the OECD and the World Bank, this book serves as an essential resource for understanding and questioning the scope of sustainable and equitable global policy frameworks for both researchers and practitioners.

In Equity at the End, authors Staci M. Zavattaro and Jennifer L. Wright-Berryman explore the intricate and often confusing landscape of deathcare in the United States. This complex system of public, private, and nonprofit institutions often leaves individuals perplexed as they navigate their final arrangements, revealing significant inequities. Combining comprehensive research from public administration and social work to examine policy design and deathcare bureaucracy, Zavattaro and Wright-Berryman scrutinize the governance of the deathcare system, the policies shaping it, and the economic and personal biases influencing its implementation. They begin by defining the concept of death equity, exploring disparities in access to resources like eco-friendly burials, identity-aligned services, and affordable body disposition. Through their extensive research, including interviews with over 70 deathcare professionals from both the public and private sectors, the authors provide readers with tools to navigate these inequities, addressing the reluctance to discuss and prepare for death. Equity at the End offers practical tools and insights to reduce inequities and improve transparency in the deathcare system. Promoting death literacy and equitable practices, this work is essential reading for social scientists, public policy experts, healthcare professionals, and educators.
