Abstract title: Social exclusion: whats in a name?
Author: Fenella Porter
Issue: Volume 10, Number 1 2000

The author analyses the concept of social exclusion, arguing that the term has become a label for another vulnerable group with no differentiation, complexity, agency, or resistance. She instead suggests that we look to broader ideas of justice, participation, and citizenship, to bring the social aspect back into the concept, which should be more synonymous with discrimination and marginalisation than with the failure of formal (education, employment, legal etc.) systems.
