Cover Story: Over the last few decades, there has been a huge debate on the transformations of the European Welfare State, and the Social Investment Approach has become an emerging reference paradigm, especially to tackle new social risks. However, despite this success, Social Investment still seems to be a rather ambiguous concept, too vague to result in precise and univocal policy prescriptions and open to the risk of a neoliberal interpretation, which would eventually lead to an erosion of social rights. In this paper, we propose a theoretical framework to better clarify the normative ground, the moral foundation, and political justification of the Social Investment Approach and to understand whether it can avoid the risk of erosion of social rights. View this paper
