The Concept of Social Exclusion

Summary/Abstract: This article has two functions. Firstly it is designed to analyse those dimensions which are important in developing an understanding of the concept of social exclusion. It begins with defining the concept. It then analyses those factors that contribute to the exclusion process, it creates a typology of social exclusion, investigates the role of social institutions and value systems, globalisation as an agent of social change that contributes to social exclusion and finally looks at the key indicators for measuring levels of social exclusion. Second, the paper examines whether the concept of social exclusion reflects the development of new theoretical knowledge about the operation of the social world that was previously not present in the earlier theories, or whether the concept reflects existing knowledge that was previously expressed using different language but has now been "modernised" within the current social and political context.
