European Union member states have always sought to share a common vision of an economic and social model that would be a blueprint for all states to follow, and�one that would make Europe both prosperous and different from other parts of the world.�For many European countries this blueprint�has tradtionally�been�the European Social Model. This is�a system basedon a high level of social protection, social dialogue and public services to cover activities vitalfor social cohesion. Economic and political developments since the 1990s have made the blueprint less clear and attractive. The crisis in the Western European welfare state and the economic reforms stemming from this crisis have�led to changes in the economic and social models of the EU memberstates, giving rise to a debate on the viabilty of the European Social Model.�This�issue�has become increasingly complex and dynamic following successive eastern enlargements of the Union. This book examines whether the recent economic, social and political developments in the European Union and its member states require the Union to revise its belief that Europe can effectively compete with the United States and the emerging economies. This volume brings together a wide range ofpolicy experts from both old and new European Union member states, as well as from the United States, and presents their insights, observations and research on this key issue. This book is an essential companion for all interested in the debate surrounding the future of economic and social models in Europe.
