This innovative book delves into the concept of social justice in the Visegrad countries through a rigorous examination of two demographics: working mothers and the unemployed. Using new empirical data, Sara Hungler analyses the experiences of these groups from the perspectives of redistribution, recognition and representation.

Using a multidimensional approach inspired by Nancy Fraser's scholarship, Hungler assesses the legal and social factors shaping the experiences of vulnerable groups. She employs a mixed methodology to explore the impact of EU policy on poverty and exclusion. Ultimately, this book demonstrates that there is no 'one size fits all' solution to the many expansive, socio-political challenges in Europe.

Social Justice, Welfare and EU Law is beneficial for academics of European law, labour law, labour policy and comparative social policy. Political scientists who are interested in the core-periphery discourse will also find it to be a vital read.

Industry Reviews

'Sara Hungler powerfully demonstrates that welfare states have societal commitments to protecting working mothers and unemployed people. In Social Justice, Welfare and EU Law, Hungler's remarkable study of Visegrad welfare laws and policies, she rekindles hope that welfare states can advance social justice.' -- Brian Gran, Case Western Reserve University, US
'Based on Nancy Fraser's theory of social justice, Sara Hungler's eye-opening book delves into both the achievements and the loopholes of the European social model. Through a masterful combination of legal analysis and a social science approach, the author provides an insightful, integrated inquiry into the Visegrad Countries highlighting the current and prospective impact of EU policies aiming at reducing poverty and curbing social exclusion in the European Union.' -- Marco Biasi, University of Milan, Italy
