The European Social Model has been an integral part of the
construction of the European Community and has been effective in
stimulating its economic growth. This social dimension represents
the soul of the European Union, and has been envied and adopted by
other regions and countries in the world.Under the pressure of the
2008 financial crisis and the subsequent introduction of austerity
measures across Europe, many countries have reformed basic elements
of the model including social protection, pensions, public
services, workers' rights, quality of jobs, working conditions and
social dialogue, often undermining social cohesion. These trends
have raised questions: is Europe currently losing its legacy? If
so, what are the social and economic implications, both in the
short and longer term? The European Social Model in Crisis assesses
social policy developments in each EU individual member state on
the basis of detailed empirical evidence and concrete case studies.
The volume is a timely warning about the weakening of the European
Social Model and its possibly devastating future effects. The
alternative options proposed here make the book essential reading
for policy-makers, while scholars and researchers of European
studies and social policy will find it an invaluable reference.
