In recent years new or alternative approaches to governance in the EU, specifically the open method of coordination (OMC) have attracted great interest and controversy.
This book examines the European Strategy for Employment (EES) and its implementation through the OMC, exploring the promises and limitations of the EES for EU social law and policy and for the safeguard of social rights.
The book goes on to look at what the EES reveals about recent developments in EU social governance, and offers new insights and fresh perspectives into the operation of New Governance and its relationship with law and constitutionalism.
