• Sommario/riassunto: This scholarly work by Niclas Beinborn explores the impact of soft law on youth policy within the European Union, with a focus on the European Youth Strategy. Written as a dissertation, the book examines how EU member states have coordinated their efforts to address challenges faced by young people, particularly during crises. It delves into the Open Method of Coordination and applies a fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) to assess policy outcomes. Beinborn aims to provide empirical evidence and theoretical insights into the effectiveness of the European Youth Strategy, targeting academics, policymakers, and researchers interested in European social policy and youth issues.
