The Social Dimension Employment Policy in the European Community
Description
The European Community's social dimension covers a wide area of social policy which is not always readily understood. This book contains an historical overview of EC social policy which analyzes its development over the last 40 years. Subsequent chapters focus on specific topics - including equal opportunities, employment protection, and health and safety - to give the reader a more detailed background on the nature of EC involvement, including the debates, the proposals and legislation. The book also explores the most recent controversies surrounding the Social Chapter and the Maastricht Treaty.
