| Summary: | "In the regulation of employment, public authorities face three current problems: non-standard employment, inequality and unemployment. The thesis is interested in how EU level governance addresses these problems given its advanced stage of market and monetary integration. This socio-legal study therefore explores the diverse instruments with which the Union exerts influence on employment regulation in the Member States. Given dramatic changes over the last decade, it assesses what capacity the Union (still) has in the field of EU employment governance. The analysis focuses on the impact of reinforced economic policy coordination. It evaluates whether the joint use of different modes of regulation is as progressive as the competitive-social justice promises the EU’s expansive regulatory framework makes on paper. The thesis represents a thought experiment to contribute to the discussion about what role the EU can (and should) play with regard to safeguarding and promoting workers’ rights in the context of globalised markets and structural unemployment." |
