European studies frequently regard the
economic and social dimensions of EU integration as diametrically opposed,
maintaining that this state of affairs is beyond change. This edited collection
challenges this perceived wisdom, focusing on the post-Lisbon constitutional
landscape. Taking the multi-layered polity that is Europe today as its central
organising theme, it examines how the social and the economic might be
reconciled under the Union's different forms of governance. The collection has a
clear structure, opening with a theoretical appraisal of its theme, before
considering three specific policy fields: migration policy and civic
integration, company law and corporate social responsibility and the role of
third sector providers in public healthcare. It concludes with three case
studies in these fields, illustrating how the argument can be practically
applied. Insightful and topical, with a unique interdisciplinary perspective,
this is an important contribution to European Union law after the Lisbon
Treaty.
