This book explores the European welfare model, arguing that the
rollout of European policies for welfare services has led to
increased marketization. The author argues that the rise of
profit-making in utilities, transport, child and health care is
exacerbating rather than reducing inequalities among citizens,
demonstrating how the marketization of European welfare has taken
place over successive rounds of policymaking for European
integration. These rounds have motivated national level public
services reform, as well as contestation over these measures from
civil society groups. The study traces the developments of
policymaking at EU level since the late 1980s, offers in-depth
studies of contentious debates which have sealed the fate of
welfare services at the turn of the century, and offers insights on
the problems involved with prolonged austerity in Europe. This book
therefore shows how European integration is provoking a democratic
challenge to what kind of Europe citizens want.
