The Social Policies Analysis Seminar (SAPS) is a research group of the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB). Social Policies are analyzed from the perspective of state analysis, social justice theories and inequalities trends. The main policy sectors analyzed by our research group are education, social welfare, technological risk, transport and health. Our analytical framework for inquiry can be consulted in: Adelantado, J. et al (2000) “El marco de anàlisis: las relaciones complejas entre estructura social y políticas sociales”. Adelantado, J.
