The questions posed by the book concern the social future, which appears rather bleak. These are complex questions that are approached from a socio-political perspective, leading to the conclusion that social policy and the social rights we once celebrated are being diminished by their inherent noble characteristics.
Social rights are the root of social policy. However, the new social policy dehydrates its root, distorting the essence of the inspired rights for social justice. At the same time, the structural deadlocks of the global capitalist system leave victims in their wake but also support hopes for a more humane model of development, where politics and rights can revive genuinely social roles.
The aim of the book is to contribute to the understanding of the concept and highlight the role of European Social Policy. Its path involves examining the contribution of social rights to its formation. Initially, there is an attempt at a theoretical analysis of the prevailing views on social rights, but this is oriented towards decoding their relationship with social policy.
Subsequently, an empirical approach is presented to explore the dynamics of this relationship, with a reference framework of Europe and a study field of the interactions of European integration. Universal rights for emancipation are transformed into compensatory individual stakes of dependence. They become less social and less rights. The underminer is a minimally economic social policy that creeps into the supranational sphere and pervades the national environment.
