Note from the editor ; What does the world success of Piketty's Capital in the 21st Century (2014) reveal? This book is not just one of the most astonishing bestsellers in the social sciences in recent years, but it may also signal an important shift in the way we consider inequality in economics and sociology, in the social sciences and the public arena, in political debate and day-to-day conversations. [First paragraph]

In the process of approval of the European Commission Horizon 2020, research in the Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) has been under threat. Not only new liberals, but also migrant movements, Roma organizations, feminists, and other citizens have questioned social sciences as a valid instrument to contribute to overcome the crisis and its related inequalities, especially in Europe. In this framework, this article discusses the role that public sociology plays for social sciences to regain legitimacy in current times. Particularly, the article defends that this regaining of prestige can be done through the study of Successful Actions, which have proven effective in reducing inequalities wherever they have been implemented. Drawing on the INCLUD-ED research, a large-scale project of the EU Framework Programme of Research (2006-2011), the article analyses the impact of implementing Successful Actions in the improvement of quality of life in one of the poorest neighbourhoods of Spain

The declaration of València as the World Sustainable Food Capital in 2017, based on the market-gardening system of l'Horta — an area girding the city, has put key subjects such as sustainable production and healthy eating on the public agenda. The process leading up to the declaration (which is in part a heritage-based project) has been fraught with contradictions and conflicts stemming from the city's political, economic and identity dimensions. Examining this process from a Social Sciences angle is of value not only indrawing lessons but also for spawning debating forums in which solutions can be proposed.

New technologies and multilevel data sets that include geographic identifiers have heightened sociologists' interest in spatial analysis. I review several of the key concepts, measures, and methods that are brought into play in this work and offer examples of their application in a variety of substantive fields. I argue that the most effective use of the new tools requires greater emphasis on spatial thinking. A device as simple as an illustrative map requires some understanding of how people respond to visual cues; models as complex as hierarchical linear modeling with spatial lags require thoughtful measurement decisions and raise questions about what a spatial effect represents.
