The response of European Union institutions to the Eurocrisis
demonstrated their fragile and failing commitment to the role of
social policy in advancing European economies and societies. The
present volume, exploring the positive scope for such policies, is
therefore timely and welcome. While sharply critical of much of
what goes on at both EU and several national levels, the authors
are constructive in tone and point the way to sustainable
alternatives to neoliberalism.' - Colin Crouch, University of
Warwick, UK and External Scientific Member, Max Planck Institute
for the Study of Societies, Cologne, GermanyHighly valued by its
citizens, the European social model is a defining feature of Europe
and the European Union yet is under threat from the effects of both
globalisation and the aftermath of the financial crisis. The
Sustainability of the European Social Model addresses this issue in
light of the current crisis that changed the landscape. It examines
how social Europe responds to uncertainties that affect its
development from a range of different disciplinary perspectives.
The book begins by analysing interactions between EU law and
national policies from a comparative perspective, highlighting the
legal, social and institutional complexities that constrain the
development of 'social Europe' It assesses the sustainability of EU
law and policies in the areas of pensions and employment policy and
then focuses on two crucial areas of EU social policy: the
regulations on working time and the provisions of social services
of general interest. The expert contributors compare the
experiences of a range of Member States (and also bring in external
comparison) to explore topics such as ageing, job quality, social
protection and employment policies, social dialogue and the
relationship between the various methods of European policymaking
such as the 'community method' and the Open Method of
Co-ordination. The analyses show that sustainability of the
European social model will depend heavily on addressing failings in
European governance. Insightful and comprehensive, this book is a
detailed and timely resource for academic researchers. Its
practical, policy-oriented insights into important issues in social
and employment policy, as well as into European policymaking
itself, will also be of great interest to practitioners and
policymakers. Contributors: J.-C. Barbier, I. Begg, F. Colomb, C.
