Abstract
The idea of 'social exclusion' has emerged over a relatively short space of time to take centre stage in political and popular debates about social disadvantage in many European states. In Britain it now dominates policy discourse on strategies to combat disadvantage.This paper explores the origins of the concept of social exclusion and the meanings that have been ascribed to it. The paper poses questions which remain outstanding in the debate over social exclusion. It then considers the relationship between housing and social exclusion and introduces each of the papers in the special issue. It finishes by noting that the papers in this issue make a significant contribution to enhancing our understanding of processes of disadvantage,but that there is much that remains to be done.Keywords
