Introduction
1. Broadly, the literature on European social housing takes one of two approaches: the convergence school (emphasizing similarities in response to continent-wide developments) and the divergence school (emphasizing differences in welfare systems grounded in social and cultural heritages, particularly between the continental and Anglo-Saxon countries). For convergence, see Michael Harloe, The People’s Home?: Social Rented Housing in Europe and America, Studies in Urban and Social Change (Cambridge, MA: Blackwell, 1995); Bill Edgar, Joe Doherty, and Henk Meert, Access to Housing: Homelessness and Vulnerability in Europe (Bristol: Policy Press, 2002); and Christine M. E. Whitehead and Kathleen Scanlon, Social Housing in Europe (London: London School of Economics and Political Science, 2007). For divergence, see Jim Kemeny, The Myth of Home-Ownership: Private versus Public Choices in Housing Tenure (London: Routledge & Kegan Paul, 1981); Jim Kemeny, From Public Housing to the Social Market: Rental Policy Strategies in Comparative Perspective (London: Routledge, 1995).
