Abstract
AbstractThe chapter provides an overview of the main theoretical perspective applied in the analysis of the case studies presented in second part of the book. The frameworks of life course research, Cultural Political Economy, and governance are thus reconstructed considering their integration with the opportunity structures perspective. Specifically, the notions of discursive and institutional opportunity structure are questioned, introducing the third dimension of relational opportunity structure.
