Download or read book Employment Policies and Multilevel Governance written by Roger Blanpain and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2009-04-29 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Europe, work has long been a symbol of full citizenship and today work is a fundamental goal of European social policy. However, although every person has the ‘right’ to work, it is becoming clearer all the time that unemployment is not due merely to a lack of encouragement to exercise this right, but (at least in part) to some deeper defects in the implementation of effective employment policies. As a contribution to defining the nature of these problems this important collection of essays targets the phenomena of multilevel governance, both vertical (European, national, regional, local) and horizontal (administrative institutions, trade unions, business representatives, NGOs), showing, with detailed analysis and data, how coordination or conflict between the various levels advances, or fails to advance, the goals of employment policy. Regarding the EU, five EU Member States are examined– plus, for comparative analysis, the parallel Canadian federal model – with the authors addressing such concrete issues as: the impact of globalisation and Europeanisation on employment policies; distribution of tasks in the Open Method of Coordination (OMC); involvement of private and economic agents; the increasing significance of international political agents; flexicurity as an employment strategy; the difficulty of integrating the excluded; coordination with education and fiscal policies; social inclusion from the point of view of international human rights; and gender ‘mainstreaming’ as a weakening of the EU guarantee of gender equality. The essays originated in a research meeting held at the Instituto Internacional de Sociología Jurídica at Oñati (Spain) in June of 2007. Some of the contributors, all employment law experts, discuss problematic aspects of the European Employment Strategy (EES) and its influence on the decentralization of employment policies and related elements of social protection. Other authors concentrate on ‘built-in’ multilevel problems resulting from existing constitutional and administrative structures, while a third group focuses on substantive approaches to employment policies within individual member states. The Bulletin contains updated versions of all papers. In this book the degree of administrative, legal, political, and cultural intricacy involved in a serious engagement with multilevel governance of employment on the European model is put on full view. As a deeply informed analysis of how the idea of multilevel governance has played out within the political and administrative reality of Member States, the book will prove of enormous value to labour and employment law professionals anywhere, as the problems identified here have a global reach.

Download or read book Foundations on community and comparative European and North American labor and social security law written by Jesús Martínez Girón and published by Netbiblo. This book was released on 2007 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este manual universitario expone con toda claridad, pero también con todo rigor académico, el conjunto de «Fuentes», «Instituciones» y «Derechos, Libertades y Principios», integrados en un curso académico ?a explicar a lo largo de un cuatrimestre? sobre dos grandes áreas temáticas. De un lado, el Derecho de la Unión Europea, ad extra y ad intra, del Trabajo y de la Seguridad Social. De otro lado, el Derecho comparado del Trabajo y de la Seguridad Social ?abordado desde un punto de vista español, pero también cosmopolita? alemán, británico, francés, italiano, portugués y, por último, norteamericano. Su cuidada tipografía, con tres niveles de conocimiento distintos marcados por tres tamaños distintos de letra, pretende separar en el texto lo que el alumno universitario realmente debe conocer y estudiar, desgajando de este nivel de conocimiento primordial otros temas que interesan más inmediatamente al profesorado en formación o a los profesionales implicados en la llevanza de asuntos jurídicos laborales y de Seguridad Social (jueces, abogados, graduados sociales, sindicalistas, etc.). Esta segmentación de niveles de conocimiento lo convierte en una herramienta docente útil no sólo en las Facultades de Derecho, sino también en otros centros universitarios distintos (Escuelas Universitarias de Relaciones Laborales, Escuelas Universitarias de Estudios Empresariales, Facultades de Administración y Dirección de Empresas, etc.) en los que también se imparten estudios oficiales de postgrado, y señaladamente, Masters y Doctorado.
Download or read book Las fronteras de la ciudadan a en Espa a y en la Uni n Europea written by Marco Aparicio and published by Documenta Universitaria. This book was released on 2006 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El presente volumen recoge, actualizadas, una parte importante de las comunicaciones presentadas en el II y III Encuentro de jóvenes investigadores en derecho de inmigración y asilo celebrados en Barcelona y Girona, respectivamente. La diversidad de aportaciones a los Encuentros tiene una entidad y coherencia propias que reflejan el amplio espectro de investigaciones en marcha, y que la distinguen de otras obras de carácter más sistemático sobre este ámbito del Derecho. Con esta perspectiva, el primer apartado recoge, bajo el título de “Cuestiones de extranjería en el derecho comunitario y en el derecho interno”, diversas aportaciones de ámbito transversal y genérico, que dan paso a un análisis individualizado de derechos concretos y de sus limitaciones en un segundo apartado dedicado a la normativa española, englobado bajo el título de “Acerca de los derechos y libertades de las personas extranjeras”; el tercer apartado del volumen recoge las comunicaciones directamente relacionadas con el derecho de asilo, que por su propia entidad merecen un tratamiento específico. Como corolario se recogen los informes de la situación de la inmigración y el asilo en Irlanda, Rumanía y Alemania en los dos últimos años. \n\n

Download or read book The Political Economy of Contemporary Spain written by Luis Buendía and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The so-called ‘Spanish miracle’, beginning in the mid-1990s, eventually became a nightmare for the majority of the population, culminating in the present-day economic and political crisis. This book explores the main features of the Spanish political-economic model during both the growth and crisis periods. Analyzing the causes and consequences of the continuing economic crisis in Spain, this book delves into five analytical axes: the evolution of the growth model; the role of Spain in the international division of labor; the financial sector and its influence on the rest of the economy; changes in the labor market; and the distributional consequences of both the expansive phase and the later crisis. Furthermore, contributors examine the formation of a triangle of actors (the government sector, building sector, and financial capital) that shaped the Spanish growth model, together with the effects of Spain’s membership in the Economic and Monetary Union. Also considering ecological problems, gender issues, and the immigration question, this book challenges the alleged recovery of living conditions during recent years, as well as the explanation of the crisis as the result of irrational behaviors or the greedy nature of certain actors. The Political Economy of Contemporary Spain provides a coherent explanation of the Spanish economic crisis based on a pluralistic approach, while proposing several measures that could contribute to a transformation of Spain’s economic and social models.
