Guglielmo Meardi

Social Failures of EU Enlargement (eBook, ePUB)

A Case of Workers Voting with their Feet

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book provides a blunt assessment of EU enlargement eastwards, based on fifteen years of fieldwork research across Central and Eastern Europe, through a focus on the hitherto neglected social and employment problems at three levels: the largely failed implementation of EU social regulations; social dumping and relocation threats operated by multinational companies; and migration flows resulting in increased worker vulnerability. This is the first critical book on EU enlargement from a social sciences perspective. Unlike existing books on EU enlargement, this volume considers geopolitical and institutional aspects and assesses the link between EU, national and company levels.
