Its employment field is directed to increase the employability of workers and the adaptability of labor market regimes. The book argues that this social-liberal approach is best explained with a set of ideas strategically advanced by 'thought communities' in the policy process. It traces the success of this new approach in the debates among academic experts and policy-makers in the mid-1990s, the decisions leading to the adoption of the Treaty of Amsterdam, and the establishment of the approach in the policy field between 1997-2007. The author explores the processes through which ideas came to matter in the policy process. At every stage, the claim that ideas played a predominant role is strengthened by addressing the most viable alternative explanations such as institutional constraints set by Economic and Monetary Union and the preferences of political leaders. 606 $aEurope$xPolitics and government 606 $aPolitical planning 606 $aWelfare state 606 $aSocial policy 606 $aLabor economics 606 $aEuropean Politics 606 $aPublic Policy 606 $aWelfare 606 $aSocial Policy 606 $aLabor Economics 615 0$aEurope$xPolitics and government. 615 0$aPolitical planning. 615 0$aWelfare state. 615 0$aSocial policy. 615 0$aLabor economics. 615 14$aEuropean Politics. 615 24$aPublic Policy. 615 24$aWelfare. 615 24$aSocial Policy. 615 24$aLabor Economics. 676 $a331.12/042094 700 $aSchellinger$b A$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01059347 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255318103321 996 $aEU Labor Market Policy$92505434 997 $aUNINA
