Social Europe is a key topic in the construction of the EU and its
institutions. This volume examines the current state of, and
perspectives for, Social Europe, as well as key issues in European
social policy, including the posting of workers, the impact of the
free market and regulations on social convergence, work automation,
digitalisation, taxation and democracy in the workplace. The aim of
this volume is to identify a course to be followed in integrating
the EU's social policies and point to areas in which co-operation
between member states is likely to produce best results. While a
Social Europe was previously seen to be a natural consequence of
political and economic integration, it is now viewed as a separate
area that requires active policies to preserve the European
project. The EU's big question today concerns the level at which
this policy should be pursued: the volume's contributors outline
difficulties with harmonising social policies across the Union, but
they nevertheless argue that, owing to the common challenges faced
by Europe, the idea of a Social Europe must not be abandoned and
requires specific action. The volume consists of 11 chapters
written by a variety of expert authors, analysing the idea of a
Social Europe and proposing ways in which it could be put into
practice. Social policy can no longer be seen as derived from
economic policy but rather as a separate driver of development that
could be of interest to the northern, southern and eastern states
of the EU. Jacek Kubera, PhD, Assistant Professor, Faculty of
Sociology, Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan. Tomasz Morozowski,
PhD candidate, Faculty of Political Science and Journalism, Adam
Mickiewicz University in Poznan, and analyst at the Poznan
Institute for Western Affairs.
