description |
This book summarizes social policy
reform during the transition and European Union accession
and analyses the social policy challenges which continue to
face both old and new member states. Specifically, the book
amplifies two sets of arguments. First, social policy under
communism was in important respects well-suited to the old
order and - precisely for that reason - was systematically
badly-suited to a market economy. Strategic reform
directions thus followed from the nature of the transition
process and from constraints imposed by EU accession.
Secondly, successful accession is not the end of the story:
economic and social trends over the past 50 years are
creating strains for social policy which all countries - old
and new members - will have to face. |
