Opis

How can the EU's community of welfare states adapt their public policies to economic globalization? What happens when the economic and social aims of the EU come into conflict?
This book examines the developing legal regimes and regulation of public services in the UK and provides a highly informative and novel case study of the interaction and conflict between the economic and social aims of the EU and between regulation at national and supranational levels, taking into account the changing forms which this regulation has taken.

Recenzje

This is an engaging study that makes compelling claims about the difficulties faced by public services, drawing upon a well-researched case study on PES. A detailed analysis of PES in each of the Member States is rightly avoided as too ambitious a project. The focus on trends enables the authors to extrapolate conclusions for reflecting on public services... The current political relevance of PES makes the study a revealing read for anyone with an interest in the regulatory vicissitudes facing public services in general; it is an essential read for those working in the area of PES and the European Employment Strategy in particular.
