Miró: Round Trip presents late works created by the artist (18931983) during his years in Mallorca. Miró settled in Mallorca in 1956 and remained there until his death in 1983. The move to Mallorca from Barcelona brought new energy to Miró's work; he described the island as feeling as fresh as if the world had just been created. Published to accompany an exhibition celebrating the 25th anniversary of the opening of the Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró a Mallorca on the site of Miró's studio, this volume brings together a rare selection of Miró's late works, some of which have never before been published. The 95 works included in this publication left Miró's Mallorca studio in the 1960s and 1970s, and now at long last have made a round trip back to the place where they were conceived.

Automation, digitalisation, the post-industrial transition and climate change are creating new social risks which are not adequately supported by established welfare state institutions. In this timely book, Maurizio Ferrera, Joan Miró and Stefano Ronchi propose critical social and institutional policy reform in response to the nation state’s inability to maintain a balanced ecosystem between democracy, the market economy, welfare and the rule of law. Social Reformism 2.0 provides a diagnosis of the critical issues facing the welfare state, namely the transition to post-industrialisation, globalisation and European integration, and the fourth technological revolution. Situating the European social model within a multi-crisis context, this book surveys the current reform trends in social policy, addressing decades of global development, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the climate emergency, before proposing a number of strategic policy reforms. It ultimately champions a transition towards a greener economy and a realignment of progressive politics, highlighting the central role Europe plays in coordinating and stimulating change. Offering a highly detailed yet accessible critique, this socially pertinent study will strongly appeal to students and academics with an interest in political science, European studies, sociology, social and public policy analysis and welfare state research. It will also highly benefit policymakers, bureaucrats, practitioners and stakeholders involved in social governance processes at a national and European level.
