Description
This book is a legal study of the European Union's strategy to combat unemployment. The book draws on labour law and economic theories of labour market regulation to chart the evolution of the European Union Employment Strategy and the new forms of governance to which it has given rise. The book provides a topical contribution to current debates on EU governance: the appropriate level of regulation (whether national or supranational) and the legitimate role for the state in regulating or deregulating the labor market.Features
- Charts evolution of EU Employment Strategy and outlines its implications for labour law and industrial relations
- Offers an interdisciplinary exploration of European social law and employment policy
- Examines aspects of the 'new governance' - such as whether states or the EU should regulate labour and the harmonization versus competition debate
