All the while, the volume of provision has expanded exponentially, driven by a growing and ageing population, by rising public expectations, and in some cases, notably healthcare, by scientific advances and by supply driving up demand. This expansion was possible because the economy continued to grow. Then came the collapse of global financial systems and a steep economic downturn from which 'recovery' is uncertain. Furthermore, there is persuasive evidence that continuing economic growth is undesirable, as Tim Jackson has ably demonstrated in Prosperity without Growth. Since it cannot be 'decoupled' from carbon emissions sufficiently and in time, continuing growth in the 'developed' world will make it impossible to avoid catastrophic damage to the environment. So it makes sense to plan for minimal growth or none at all. In that case, what will become of the welfare state? As it stands it is

The proposed settlement has three goals: social justice, environmental sustainability, and a more equal distribution of power. To achieve these goals we have identified a set of objectives too often ignored in mainstream debates: achieving prosperity without depending on economic growth; shifting investment and action upstream to prevent harm rather than coping with the consequences; strengthening the "core economy" of unpaid work, everyday wisdom, and social connections; and fostering solidarity and an understanding of how individuals depend on each other to achieve shared goals. The article draws on a report from the New Economics Foundation, which focuses on the United Kingdom but offers a framework for developing policy and practice that may be useful in other countries, especially in the developed world.

His two separate contributions analyse, in particular, the European Convention on Human Rights and the revised European Social Charter, highlighting their inputs, but also their deficiencies, with a view to taking effective action against poverty, and also providing a very useful overview of the related case law. The next two articles describe tangible examples of violations of human rights and possible causes and consequences of poverty, while also focusing on the situation of certain population groups-first and foremost the Roma-who are particularly affected by poverty. Lidia Prokofieva and Ilona Tomova analyse the situations in the Russian Federation and Bulgaria, discussing the specific position of the so-called "transition countries". These countries' specificities are studied from both the local and the global standpoints and also with regard to their interaction with the complexities of the current economic phase. Part D makes the connection between democratic participation and poverty and social injustice. In this section, Dirk Berg-Schlosser describes the forms and instruments of contemporary democracy and, echoing Santoro's analysis, the conflicts that may occur within dynamic democratic processes.

It mounts a case for Universal Basic Services (UBS): a proposal to safeguard and develop existing public services and to extend this model of provision into new areas. The first part argues that public services require a distinct conceptual justification and sets this out in terms of shared human needs and a foundational economy. The second part develops the normative arguments for UBS, in terms of efficiency, equality, solidarity and sustainability. The third part considers some of the issues to be faced in delivering UBS and the role of state institutions, with brief illustrations of adult social care and bus transport service provisions. The final section summarises some developments, including experience of Covid-19, which might enhance the political impetus for UBS.
