La vulnerabilidad relacional : análisis del fenómeno y pautas de intervención

The purpose of this article is to explore the relational dimension of social exclusion. First, from a theoretical point of view, in order to get a better understanding of the phenomena. Second, from an applied point of view, in order to improve social services responses. The article is based in a research carried by EXURB team of IGOP (Institut de Govern i Polítiques Públiques) from Autonomous University of Barcelona. Social exclusion is a relational process that can’t be explained only in economic terms. Social network analysis concepts may be useful to understand the phenomenon.
