In the light of postmodern societies, demographic aging, migratory patterns, globalization and economic crises territorially sensitive challenges arise and targeted solutions are needed accordingly. Despite the multi-scalar and -sectorial challenges, it is the national states with their quite distinct welfare systems that are still a main arena for the organization and practices of Services of General Interest; a fact that is taken into account in this edited volume on European perspectives and national insights into Services of General Interest.
The European societies and economies rely on Services of General Interest – in a historical perspective and in a future outlook. Fair access to basic services – such as transport, energy and communication infrastructures, education, health care etc. – is regarded as a cornerstone of the European Model of Society, as a central means for Territorial Cohesion and lastly as an EU citizens’ right. These collective, regional and individual perspectives on Services of General Interest are in the focus of this edited volume. In the light of postmodern societies, demographic aging, migratory patterns, globalization and economic crises territorially sensitive challenges arise and targeted solutions are needed accordingly.
Dr. Heinz Fassmann is vice-president of the University of Vienna.
