Description
`In focusing on the interaction between national and Union level social policy, Linda Hantrais has set out to fill a glaring gap within the current literature on social policy analysis. She has set herself an ambitious, but necessary, task and the book can be considered pathbreaking...' - Journal of Social Policy This book examines the development of the social dimension of the European Union and the interconnections between EU and national social policies. The approach is thematic and comparative, covering central concepts and policy-making frameworks at European and national level, and situating them in relation to the main areas of social policy addressed by the Union. The author analyses the Union's role as a social actor and assesses the impact of its social policy agenda on welfare regimes in member states.
