Abstract

When Paul McCartney wrote his hit ‘The long and winding road’ in 1969, he obviously had other thoughts than European social policy in mind. But the metaphor is an appropriate description of the development of European social policy over the last twenty years, the subject of this 20th-anniversary edition of Social policy in the European Union: state of play. It accurately reflects the twists and turns of a social policy paradigm permanently overshadowed by market and financial considerations. Despite many optimistic statements by the EU leaders, social policy remains a ‘nice to have’ (if and when the economic and political context allows for it), not a ‘must have’. At the mercy of changing player coalitions, the development of social policy happens through a variety of policy instruments discussed in this book. It is also shaped by ever-changing challenges: digitalisation, demographic change and, increasingly, climate change. Nevertheless, as charted by this book, progress and political struggles towards a genuine ‘Social Europe’ have been and continue to be on the agenda of various players. But as a lesson of the past, we should not expect progress to be quick or linear: the road is going to be long and winding! This book takes you on that exciting journey

Abstract

Pour quoi et pourquoi se mobilise-t-on en Belgique ? Quelles sont les particularités du cadre institutionnel et socio-politique belge qui influencent l'action des mouvements sociaux ? Quelles formes prend la contestation ? Telles sont les questions que soulève cet ouvrage collectif. Il s'agit non seulement de comprendre ce que le cadre belge fait aux mobilisations, mais aussi de mettre en évidence ce que les mouvements sociaux apportent au système belge dans son ensemble. [4ème de couverture]
