"European integration is more, much more, than the economic integration of markets. It has, and needs, a strong political dimension. In future debates about the European Social Model we cannot dilute the universal objectives of economic democracy and social justice. Indeed, social democrats need to emphasise the primacy of politics; and, within politics, the primacy of democracy. Bringing together a number of high-profile authors, this book seeks to illuminate the discussion about Europe?s social dimension with both free academic thinking and ?hands on? policy prescriptions?"
