Questions of Social Europe

Seminar (Präsenzveranstaltung): MES: WPM 1: Regieren in Europa// WPM 6: Wirtschaftspolitik in Europa

Since 2017, a renaissance of the concept of Social Europe was observed, following the creation of the European Pillar of Social Rights and subsequently the 2021 Action Plan for its implementation, together with reaching a new level of cross-country solidarity. The course looks back to the original steps and concepts at the creation of the social dimension of the European Union (the declaration of social rights, the launch of EU level social dialogue, and the cycle of social legislation; setting social standards and targets etc.) It will be explored how the 2000 Lisbon Strategy added a new layer to this construction, and how subsequent major crises undermined the “European Social Model” in certain countries. We pay specific attention to the crisis of solidarity at the time of the great financial and eurozone crises, and its apparent resurrection at the time of the coronavirus pandemic and the RU-UA war. The analysis will pay attention to the impact of EU integration on the resilience of welfare states, and the capacity of the EU to support social investment within countries. Finally, we explore the “new frontiers” of the development of a more social EU (e.g. health union, minimum wage coordination, common unemployment insurance, housing policy).
