Impactul politicii de acordare a ajutorului social pentru asigurarea venitului minim garantat asupra reducerii sărăciei în România: The impact of the guaranteed minimum income on reducing poverty in Romania
The means-tested social benefits provided in Romania are guaranteed minimum income, family support allowance, and heating aid. In this paper, we focus on the allocation of the guaranteed minimum income and their impact on the beneficiaries. Using data from Family Household Budget Survey 2016 we describe the profile of the beneficiaries, and we analyze the extent to which guaranteed minimum income beneficiaries continue to be in situations such as severe material deprivation, and relative poverty after social transfers. The results show that most beneficiaries are in severe material deprivation, with more than half of them deprived of food and new clothes. Also, the guaranteed minimum income manages to lift only 2% out of relative monetary poverty
The border is not the territory: the securitarian-humanitarian dialectic and the outsourcing of European borders
At the core of the European projects there is a fundamental tension between the securitarian and the humanitarian aspects of border and foreign policy, especially in its response to the Mediterranean Migration Crisis. This tension has far reaching consequences, from the outsourcing of border controls to third party states to fundamental changes in the makeup of the European Project. Starting from Etienne Balibar’s seminal question “what makes a border” I explore several facets of European border enforcement and the impact it is having on the European project
