Social Europe at a Crossroads
Since mid-2000 increased inequality and economic imbalances have threatened the European project. In their paper for the
FES-Clingendael seminar, Jan Wiersma and Michiel Luining suggest that divergent views on essential elements of
social Europe make major changes unlikely. As regards the EU’s economic governance in overhauling the
European Semester, member states advance different perspectives - more binding social indicators, or stricter application of the present rules. As Euroscepticism gains ground, more traditional parties are demanding a correction in the EU’s market-oriented policies and a strengthening of its social dimension.
