Objective
This project will explore uncertainty and insecurity (U&I) as crucial horizontal categories for understanding and anticipating public reaction to social and economic planning in four European countries (UK, France, Greece and Hungary). It addresses the problem of the vicious circle that increasing quality of life comes about through practices and policies that actually fuel and overall culture of U&I, which in its turn decreases quality of life. It aims to explain how U&I are constructed in contemporary Europe and to identify the effect that U&I have the life of European citizens and on their relationship with institutions of political and economic governance. Through extensive qualitative and quantitative research, cutting across six task areas, the project will bring together an interdisciplinary range of skills in the social sciences involving social theory, anthropology, political science and economic sociology.
