The contours of the “social quality perspective” have recently been revised and developed by a team of scholars from Eastern and Western Europe. This began to take shape in 2016 and was extended in a working paper of the International Association of Social Quality with contributions from the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (IASQ 2019: 48–56)—namely, Working Paper 17/b. The latter discussion became more important in response to the tragedy of the invasion of Ukraine by Russia in February 2022. This raised the urgency of the question of what the policy application of the social quality perspective means.
