By employing the Varieties of Capitalism approach as an analytical framework, it seeks to bridge diverging views from an innovative standpoint: While many experts argue that EU policies liberalize national training systems in spite of being ‘soft law’, Varieties of Capitalism argues that these polices do not produce a convergence of national institutions. The book maintains that European instruments such as the European Qualifications Framework and the European Credit System for Vocational Education and Training are indeed biased towards liberal training regimes. On the basis of case studies on Germany, the Netherlands and England, it shows that the initiatives were implemented in line with national training systems. Thus, European soft law does not lead to a convergence of training regimes – or, as the book posits, of welfare states in general. .Contributions to Political Science,2198-7289European UnionEducation and stateProfessional educationVocational educationPolitical economyEducation—Economic aspectsLabor economicsEuropean Union Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911140Education Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X33030Professional & Vocational Educationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/O35000International Political Economyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912140Education Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W36000Labor Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W37000European Union.Education and state.Professional education.Vocational education.Political economy.Education—Economic aspects.Labor economics.European Union Politics.Education Policy.Professional & Vocational Education.International Political Economy.Education Economics.Labor Economics.32044.08.24EP-CLASSAnte Christineauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut788564MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910255329903321Europeanisation of vocational education and training1757970UNINA
