Social solidarity and civil servants' willingness for financial cross-subsidization in South Africa: implications for health financing reform Universiteit Gent
Beyond social capital: place, diversity and solidarity KU Leuven
In many Western European countries, concern rises that both formal mechanisms of redistribution and informal acts of charity, reciprocity and support are challenged by ethnic and cultural diversity. Against such gloomy perspectives, this paper draws on insights from sociology, geography, pedagogy and political science to argue that four traditional sources of solidarity (interdependence, shared norms and values, struggle and encounter) remain ...

The relationship between SSE and the perspective of inclusive urban regeneration offers many opportunities, when urban neighbourhoods are considered as a set ...
