Edited by Ruud Muffels, Professor of Socio-Economics, Tilburg School of Social and Behavioral Sciences and Tranzo, Scientific Center for Care and Wellbeing, the Netherlands, Panos Tsakloglou, Associate Professor, Athens University of Economics and Business, Greece and the late David G. Mayes, formerly Professor of Banking and Financial Institutions, Director, Europe Institute and Director, NZ Governance Centre, University of Auckland, New Zealand<i>'This book provides useful analysis for social policy academics with a European bent, and should embolden policymakers. It does not underplay the challenges facing the EU, and especially southern countries and the UK, but it affirms that employment and welfare policy can and do make a difference.'</i>
- T. Burchardt, Education Economics,
The book attempts to promote a better understanding of the differences in policy regimes and the performances of different regime types in view of their own goals and objectives. Contributors from a broad range of disciplines - economics, sociology and political science - explore the scope for European policy coordination and the form that this should take.
The book focuses on a problem that is widely considered to be one of the most intractable and damaging in contemporary European society. It will be invaluable to policymakers in a broad range of fields including employment, social policy, education and social work as well as to economists, sociologists and political scientists engaged in research and teaching in these fields.
