Radical changes in the local governance of social cohesion in many Member States of the European Union are the focus of LOCALISE's research on the organisational challenges of an integrated social and employment policy. How do different institutional contexts influence local worlds of social cohesion? How do local actors deal with the conflicts and dilemmas caused by integrated social cohesion policies? What impact do these policies have on social inequality and the conception of social citizenship? LOCALISE addresses these questions by integrating multiple disciplines, and partners from Germany, France, Italy, Poland, Sweden and the UK experienced in European and Social Policy research. A common theoretical and methodological approach guides the research in each work package.

From 2011 to 2014 LOCALISE is financed in the Seventh Research Framework of the European Commission (Grant agreement No. 26768; Project LOCALISE).
