European Integration as marketization -- 3. Resistance to liberalization -- 4. The elusive pursuit of Social Europe -- 5. The contentious global agenda for services -- 6. Welfare services in times of austerity -- 7 Conclusion: The marketization and politicization of welfare services: old and new dynamics .This book explores the European welfare model, arguing that the rollout of European policies for welfare services has led to increased marketization. The author argues that the rise of profit-making in utilities, transport, child and health care is exacerbating rather than reducing inequalities among citizens, demonstrating how the marketization of European welfare has taken place over successive rounds of policymaking for European integration. These rounds have motivated national level public services reform, as well as contestation over these measures from civil society groups. The study traces the developments of policymaking at EU level since the late 1980s, offers in-depth studies of contentious debates which have sealed the fate of welfare services at the turn of the century, and offers insights on the problems involved with prolonged austerity in Europe. This book therefore shows how European integration is provoking a democratic challenge to what kind of Europe citizens want.Palgrave Studies in European Political SociologySociologyInternational economicsSocial policyEconomic policyEconomicsSocial structureEqualitySocial service Sociology, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22000International Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W33000Social Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34020Political Economy/Economic Systemshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W46000Social Structure, Social Inequalityhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22010Social Carehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X33060EuropeEconomic integrationEuropefastSociology.International economics.Social policy.Economic policy.Economics.Social structure.Equality.Social service .Sociology, general.International Economics.Social Policy.Political Economy/Economic Systems.Social Structure, Social Inequality.Social Care.301Crespy Amandineauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1061037BOOK9910252721203321Welfare Markets in Europe2517224UNINA
