While the EU legitimacy crisis and the Great Recession prevail,
certain European Union principles and policies have to be
implemented in the member states. This volume explores the diverse
processes, stages and subjects of implementation in a variety of
social policies to identify different institutional dynamics and
actor behaviours at play. The individual contributions examine the
transposition of the patients' rights directive to the
Europeanisation of pension reforms; the role of national
parliaments in transposing social Europe; judicial Europeanisation;
and the multi-level enforcement of EU decisions. Theoretically, the
contributions in this book highlights the fact that implementation
is often conditioned by domestic politics or comes as a 'random
walk' due to organisational and cognitive constraints. Empirically,
the volume has three main findings. First, the constitutive
components of the EU tend to have a contradictory impact on the
EU's social policies and the national welfare systems. Second,
crises influence the implementation of social Europe, at times
leading to a modification of fundamental principles and content,
but not across the board. Third, as a result, there is evidence of
differentiated Europeanisation. This book was originally published
as a special issue of West European Politics.
