Trickle‐Down Social Inclusion: The EU Minorities Agenda in Times of Crisis
研究了欧盟社会政策中少数群体的维度，发现尽管少数群体持续处于不利地位，但欧盟政策却优先采用就业和增长作为解决社会排斥的通用方案，即“涓滴式”方法，经济危机加剧了这种问题与政策之间的不匹配。
Abstract This article investigates the minority dimension of EU social policy and how the conceptualization of ethnic minorities' socio‐economic inclusion has evolved over time. Three findings are drawn from the close analysis of overlapping EU agendas on social inclusion and minority inclusion. First, although there are no comprehensive data on European minorities' socio‐economic condition, significant evidence has been collected at EU‐level that minorities are consistently at a disadvantage. Second, the growing recognition that minorities suffer disproportionately from socio‐economic exclusion has not been accompanied by an increasing willingness to consider structural policy approaches. Rather, a policy paradigm has emerged that prioritizes job creation, growth and employability as the one‐size‐fits‐all solution to social exclusion. I call this the ‘trickle‐down’ approach to minority social inclusion. Third, the economic crisis crystallized this mismatch between problem and EU policy approach but did not cause it.
