Social Policy and the Eurocrisis: Quo Vadis Social Europe [Hardcover]

In this study, an international and multidisciplinary team take stock of the promise and shortfalls of 'Social Europe' today, examining the response to the Eurocrisis, the past decade of social policy in the image of the Lisbon Agenda, and the politics that derailed a more Delorsian Europe from ever emerging.Social Policy and the Euro Crisis analyses the reasons behind the ever deeper departure of the European integration process from the notion of a supranational social market space. & mainly targets an academic audience, the book is free of excessive jargon and technical references, so that even non-specialists can enjoy the reading. & an intriguing effort, which provides thought-provoking empirical evidence for further research on the possibility to pursue shifts of balances and orientations within Europe for future policy outputs.
