However, this increasing affluence has also been accompanied by rising inequality and insecurity, new forms of stratification, and homelessness. Focusing on mainland China, Hong Kong SAR, Japan, and South Korea, this article will highlight the nature, extent, and dynamics of homelessness in East Asian societies.

They explain how each of these countries experienced an acceleration in the operation of disciplinary neoliberalism - through punitive regimes of surveillance and sanctions - and consider the implications of these contemporary welfare policies.

The collection of papers is particularly concerned with exploring the forces which are reshaping the meaning, content and quality of local social interaction and urban life. The neighbourhood provides a research vehicle to connect theoretical debates to lived experience, to engage directly with issues of participation, citizenship, division, exclusion and cohesion and with policies formulated by ...

Home ownership is the main pillar of housing policy and as a very expensive commodity it has been deeply implicated in the economic problems of the 1990s. This paper considers the role of home ownership within the broader context of the post-war Japanese social structure. The core of the paper is an assessment of the impact of the recent period of financial turbulence on the home ownership sector. This discussion ...

Individualization and autonomization can be seen as the major causes of these heterogeneities. Because individual biographies and life course decisions increasingly have to be constructed personally, the differences between people and households cannot only be found between classes and between different areas but alos within these classes and areas. Households that may appear very similar in terms of standard social indicators may in fact be highly differentiated in relation to wider social resources, lifestyles, career paths, and prospects. Private solutions and safeguards against health, employment, and other risks create a greater diversity of circumstances. Individualization and autonomization affect all kinds of other processes, such as residential mobility, and coping strategies.

Despite various attempts to stimulate a recovery, the economy remains stubbornly stagnant with minimal or negative real growth in gross domestic product and massive asset deflation. Both households and institutions have found themselves financially vulnerable. While Britain's housing market is experiencing a sustained if uneven boom with memories of negative equity rapidly fading, thousands of Japanese homeowners have seen their properties fall in value by as much as 60% 1 with ...

A crucial element of this trajectory is the emergence and development of the EU as a unique and experimental supranational project, which has witnessed an unprecedented expansion both geographically as well as institutionally during the course of its 60-year long history. The Treaty of Rome signed in 1957 by Belgium, France, Italy, West Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherlands has developed into a European Union of no less than 28 countries, with a vast institutional and administrative capacity at the ‘centre’ managing substantial disparities in terms of economic and social development. Both the geographical and ins...
