Based on extensive variable-based empirical research, it assesses both the effectiveness and the legitimacy of the OMC and comes to unequivocal conclusions: Due to the resistance of member states and remaining differences in underlying ideas of social justice, anti-poverty policy could not be Europeanised through the OMC which unfolds as a very weak governance architecture. The general framework of negative integration remains unchallenged by this non-binding instrument which, to the contrary of its intention, rather forecloses the possibility of supranational learning. With regard to legitimacy, the OMC supports policy-making in closed, intransparent circles of very weakly or not democratically mandated representatives and therefore does little do decrease the democratic deficit of the EU - however one of its original ambitions. 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aComparative politics 606 $aPolitical Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911000 606 $aComparative Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911040 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aComparative politics. 615 14$aPolitical Science. 615 24$aComparative Politics. 676 $a361.6139094 700 $aKröger$b Sandra$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01544960 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782766103321 996 $aSoft Governance in Hard Politics$93799564 997 $aUNINA
