This book provides an accessible introduction to European social law and policy, focusing upon social security, welfare, health, education and training. Its main objective is to analyse and explain the law relating to and affecting European social policy: the legal basis of its implementing measures, their content, scope and effect, and the impact of the EC's internal market laws on national social policies.
Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, European Social Law and Policy sets the development of social regulation in the EU in its social and political context, exploring the ways in which membership of the EU has affected social policy in the Member States. The book will be essential reading for anybody wishing to understand the legal foundations and future development of European social policy.
