Social Failures of EU Enlargement

More about the book

Focusing on the social and employment challenges of EU enlargement eastwards, this book draws on fifteen years of fieldwork across Central and Eastern Europe. It critically examines the failed implementation of EU social regulations, the threats of social dumping by multinational companies, and the vulnerabilities faced by migrant workers. This work stands out as the first comprehensive analysis from a social sciences perspective, linking geopolitical and institutional factors with the dynamics between the EU, national governments, and corporations.
