Description
Is European integration creating a 'European Welfare State'? Should it be? In this innovative study, Mark Kleinman shows that to understand the controversial social policy role of the European Union, we need to consider the impact of economic integration for both the scope and aims of social policy. This book provides the first comprehensive treatment of the economic and social aspects of European Social Policy, and draws important conclusions for the future of the European Union.
