Abstract

ABSTRACT This short essay aims at introducing the International Review of Sociology monographic issue, devoted to the notion of sustainability. The topic is incredibly relevant in the contemporary scientific and political debate, in a time when environmental issues are overlapping the worldwide spread of demand for justice and equality. Within this framework, as a first step I try to list the numerous meanings of the notion ‘sustainability’ and highlight how the physical-biological scope necessarily intersects the social and political aspects of this notion. The second step consists of highlighting how sustainability is also related to innovation, both technological and social. Finally, I focus the other object of this issue: the role of welfare systems in achieving and defending environmental and social sustainability. This section of the work will include the presentation of the other papers, which focus either on theoretical studies on welfare systems or in case studies, which focus on welfare sustainable policies in the domains of health, migration and generational equity.

可持续发展:超越国家福利。二十一世纪福利制度的可能模式

这篇短文旨在介绍《国际社会学评论》专刊，专门讨论可持续性的概念。在环境问题与世界范围内对正义和平等的要求重叠的时代，这个话题在当代科学和政治辩论中具有不可思议的相关性。在这个框架内，作为第一步，我试图列出“可持续性”概念的众多含义，并强调物理-生物范围如何必然地与这一概念的社会和政治方面相交。第二步是强调可持续发展与技术和社会创新之间的关系。最后，我将重点讨论这个问题的另一个对象:福利制度在实现和捍卫环境和社会可持续性方面的作用。这一部分的工作将包括介绍其他论文，这些论文的重点是关于福利制度的理论研究，或案例研究，这些研究的重点是保健、移徙和代际公平领域的福利可持续政策。

期刊介绍： International Review of Sociology is the oldest journal in the field of sociology, founded in 1893 by Ren Worms. Now the property of Rome University, its direction has been entrusted to the Faculty of Statistics. This choice is a deliberate one and falls into line with the traditional orientation of the journal as well as of the Institut International de Sociologie. The latter was the world"s first international academic organisation of sociology which started as an association of contributors to International Review of Sociology. Entrusting the journal to the Faculty of Statistics reinforces the view that sociology is not conceived apart from economics, history, demography, anthropology and social psychology.
