Description
With its characteristics as a new mode of governance – such as mutual policy learning, exchange of best practices or peer review – the European Employment Strategy (EES) and the Open Method of Coordination (OMC) applied with it confront political actors within the EU with the new rules of policy coordination that also impact on governance structures within the European Multilevel System.
The present book intensively deals with the different facets of the EES, analysing its original intent and its political reality. In doing so, it goes beyond present monographs on the EES as it not only focuses on its genesis, development, and characteristics. In a highly elaborated and profound theory-based in-depth analysis, it examines the impact of the strategy on political structures, employment policies, and underlying ideas as well as the interplay of the EES with other supranational economic policies. In addition to the EU level, the United Kingdom and Germany serve as case studies for the analysis of adaptation at member state level. In order to critically assess their applicability and validity in the given case, the book embeds this impact analysis into the academic debate on Europeanisation and policy convergence. By doing so, it complements Europeanisation studies on regulatory policies by analysing the Europeanisation potential and impact of soft policy coordination within the European Multilevel Governance System.
