“New
Governance” and Social Europe:
Theory and Practice of Minimum Harmonization and Soft Law
in the Multilevel System
A collaborative research project carried out at the
Max Planck Institute for the Study of Societies (1999 – 2003)
by
Gerda Falkner (director)
Miriam Hartlapp
Simone Leiber
Oliver Treib
This
project analyzes new forms of governance and the characteristics of
social institution-building in the European multilevel system. The
specific focus is recent EC social policy which has been characterized
by a flexible style of regulation based on minimum standards,
possibilities for derogations and non-binding recommendations.
We
aim to assess the impact of this development in terms of the
substantive effects of EC labour law in the fifteen Member States. Do
the European Directives adopted in the 1990s in the face of increased
economic competition allow for the maintenance or improvement of
existing levels of social protection? What is the practical effect in
the different member states of autonomy and flexibility granted in EC
standards? The answers promise to be of interest not only in empirical
but also in theoretical terms, since existing approaches differ widely
in their assessments of the problem-solving capacity of the EU.
The envisaged
book publication will study in depth the quantitative and qualitative
development of EC social policy over time and discuss which forms of
social policy governance are most promising in the light of regime
competition.
