This book brings together insights and reflections following a set of interviews conducted with the main stakeholders involved in past, current, and future basic income experiments. It provides an analysis of some of the major elements and factors influencing experiments, as well of some of their most important outputs understood as results of their own experimental design, their sociological and political basis, and the epistemological status of their results.By pursuing a bottom-up strategy, where the interviews conducted take a pivotal role in the collection and analysis phase of the book, this book gathers key questions relating to policy experiments. Some questions reflected upon include the general idea of why one should engage and implement a basic income experiment, and the paradox consisting in the fact that most basic income experiments fall short of being closely considered "pure" basic income schemes. In facing the question and the paradox head-on, the book assesses questions of experimental design, the political and social context surrounding the policy, and the main results and what can they tell us about basic income.

Funktionierende soziale Sicherungssysteme sind unverzichtbar fuer das Wohlergehen einer modernen Gesellschaft. Nicht erst seit der Corona-Pandemie besteht Veraenderungsbedarf ? schon lange fordern Klimawandel und andere oekologische Krisen einen umfassenden Strukturwandel hin zu einem Wirtschaften innerhalb planetarer Grenzen. Die notwendige sozial-oekologische Transformation stellt das bisherige Wirtschafts- und Wachstumsmodell grundlegend infrage und kann auch am Sozialstaat nicht vorbeigehen. Dabei stellen sich Fragen nach einer sozial gerechten Ausgestaltung umweltpolitischer Massnahmen und den oekologischen Auswirkungen bestehender Sozialsysteme. Ebenso muessen die Rueckwirkungen einer weitreichenden gesellschaftlichen Transformation auf den Sozialstaat thematisiert werden. Wie also koennen Sozialsysteme angesichts neuer Herausforderungen inklusiv und krisenfest gestaltet werden und zugleich den oekologischen Umbau unterstuetzen? Angehoerige unterschiedlicher Disziplinen tragen in diesem Jahrbuch ihre Perspektiven und Ansaetze bei, um Antworten auf diese Frage zu geben.

Underpinned by the idea of the right to a 'basic minimum', welfare states are a major feature of many societies. However, the lived experiences of persons seeking and receiving welfare payments can often be overlooked. This book seeks to remedy this omission by honouring lived experience as valuable, insightful and necessary. It draws on qualitative interviews with 19 people receiving various working age welfare payments in Ireland to explore stigma, social reciprocity and the notions of the deserving and undeserving poor, and to analyse welfare conditionality in the Irish context. Breaking new ground, this book offers original research findings which contest and inform policy both within Ireland and beyond.
