What are the socio-political perceptions of the OECD, IMF, World Bank, ILO, UN, European Union, etc.? How do they connect with the practical policies of these organizations and how do they influence governments?
Are national social policies on issues of employment, social security, health, social exclusion, etc. national choices or do they constitute an adaptation to supranational reform plans? Where is the experiment of social Europe heading?
These are some of the questions addressed and answered in this book. Using rich material, the author presents the key axes of the policies of supranational organizations and bodies on fundamental social issues.
At the same time, he argues that without supranational social regulations, economic globalization threatens the cohesion not only of national societies but also of the global community.
The current reform of the welfare state in Greece (labor, social security) makes this book an essential work for comparison and reference for all those interested in the design and future of social policy in our country.
