Description
Bringing together theoretical, empirical and comparative perspectives on the European Social Model (ESM) and transitional labour market policy, this volume contains theoretical accounts of the ESM and a discussion of policy implications for European social and employment policies that derive from research on transitional labour markets. It provides an economic as well as legal assessment of the European Employment Strategy and contains evaluations of new forms of governance both in European and member state policies, including discussions of the potential and limits of soft law instruments. Country studies of labour market reforms in Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium and France assess their contribution to an emerging ESM, while comparative accounts of the ESM examine mobility and security patterns in Europe and beyond and evaluate recent 'flexicurity' policies from a global perspective.
Reviews / Votes
'Transitional labour markets and the related concept of flexicurity are both central to the re-definition of that elusive notion, the European social model. The contributors to this volume provide an invaluable introduction to these notions and constitute a veritable who's who of leading figures in these areas.' Iain Begg, London School of Economics, UK 'All of the contributing authors are clearly principal experts in this field having been at the forefront of the research agenda on the notion of TLMs; consequently, the collection can genuinely be regarded as a leading authority on the relationship between this concept and the ESM.'
