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.
