(22 October 2013) – Social Europe Journal, together with the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC), the IG Metall, the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, the Hans Böckler Stiftung and the French institute Lasaire, has published an eBook with 43 articles on different aspects of the European social dimension.
The book has three principal sections: In the first part, some of Europe’s most prestigious thinkers and analysts make the connection between the discussion about Social Europe and the wider European malaise.
The second part brings together trade union views ‘from the ground’ across Europe and collected their views on the issue.
In the third and final part, some of the best experts in the field address a series of more specific issues related to the social dimension of the European Union (competition versus cooperation, finance, wages and social protection, governance, democracy…) and make recommendations for how to tackle them.
