Solidarity is a key concept in the modern political discourse. It is supposed to ensure the equal enjoyment of individual rights within the medium of social cohesion and integration, because it designates a bond of mutual help among people, and evokes, more or less, a wide range of social protection arranged by the State in support of those in vulnerable conditions. Solidarity is based on the recognition of the other, on the consideration of his not negligible necessities and aims to realize the ideal of an inclusive society. Its crisis provokes the marginalization of those who cannot afford individually a series of economic and social risks. This assay aims to propose a critical analysis of the recognition and implementation of the principle of solidarity at national and European level.

Abstract
Solidarity is a key concept in the modern political discourse. It is supposed to ensure the equal enjoyment of individual rights within the medium of social cohesion and integration, because it designates a bond of mutual help among people, and evokes, more or less, a wide range of social protection arranged by the State in support of those in vulnerable conditions. Solidarity is based on the recognition of the other, on the consideration of his not negligible necessities and aims to realize the ideal of an inclusive society. Its crisis provokes the marginalization of those who cannot afford individually a series of economic and social risks. This assay aims to propose a critical analysis of the recognition and implementation of the principle of solidarity at national and European level.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
