Terms such as 'Social Europe' and 'European Social Model' have long
resided in the political and regulatory lexicon of European
integration. But in recent years, and in spite of the adoption of
the Charter of Fundamental Rights, the EU social profile has
entered a profound period of crisis. The ECJ judgments of Viking
and Laval exemplify the unresolved tension between the EU's strong
market imperatives and its fragile social aspirations while the
ongoing economic crisis, while the various 'bail out' packages are
producing a constant retrenchment of social rights. The status quo
is one in which workers appear to shoulder most of the risks
attendant on making and executing arrangements for the doing of
work. Chapters in this book advocate a reversal of this trend in
favour of fair mutualization, so as to disperse these risks and
share them more equitably between employers, the state, and society
at large.
