This volume, comprising three parts and ten chapters, all of them
peer-reviewed essays, arises from the work of the Swedish Network
for European Legal Studies. Its focus is on labour and social
security law. The chapters, written by distinguished legal
researchers associated with Swedish universities, provide insight
into a range of topical and important developments, seeking new and
interesting perspectives. Sweden has been a member of the European
Union since 1995, and EU law and European law perspectives have
been well integrated into Swedish labour law and social security
law research. Within the European Social Model and the European
Welfare State, Sweden (and to some degree the other Nordic
countries as well) can be said to represent a specific system, as
regards both labour law and industrial relations and social
security law. In terms of influential comparative typologies or
models (naturally 'flawed' by a certain element of vagueness and
simplification, but also very helpful in analytical and pedagogical
respects), Sweden has been described as a representative of, inter
alia, a Nordic legal family, a Nordic labour law model, a
social-collectivist industrial relations system, a consensual
industrial relations system, a social-democratic welfare state
regime, a Scandinavian social security law system (a 'sub-group' of
the Beveridge system), and a coordinated market economy. But since
1995 EU law and European law perspectives have been extensively
integrated into existing Swedish labour and social security law,
and the chapters in this book go a long way in illustrating the
far-reaching and multifaceted ways in which Swedish law has been
'Europeanised'.
This book explores the normative and legal evolution of the Social
Dimension - labour law, social security law and family law - in
both the EU and its Member States, during the last decade. It does
this from a wide range of theoretical and legal-substantive
perspectives. The past decade has witnessed the entering into force
of the Lisbon Treaty and its emphasis on fundamental rights, a new
coordination regulation within the field of social security
(Regulation 883/2004/EC), and the case law of the Court of Justice
of the European Union in the so-called Laval Quartet. Furthermore
structural changes affecting demographics and family have also
challenged solidarity in new ways. The book is organised by
reference to distinct 'normative patterns' and their development in
the fields of law covered, such as the protection of established
groups, the position of market functional values and the scope for
just distribution. The book represents an innovative and important
interdisciplinary approach to analysing EU law and Social Europe,
and contributes a complex, yet thought-provoking, picture for the
future. The contributors represent an interesting mix of well-known
and distinguished as well as upcoming and promising researchers
throughout Europe and beyond.
