It is conventionally used to describe the European experience of simultaneously promoting sustainable economic growth and social cohesion. However, the concept has suffered from a lack of clear definition. And where definitions have been found in the literature, they do not necessarily converge. This book presents the outcome of a project coordinated by the European Trade Union Institute in which experts from different countries and social scientific disciplines (sociology, political science and economics) were invited to reflect on both the meaning and political status of the concept of the ESM. In addition to analysing the ambiguities and multiple meanings attributed to the concept, the authors unpick the underlying assumptions and make use of a new approach - the ESM as political project - with which European countries can build consensus and share a common understanding. Offering a new analytical framework and with new empirical evidence, "Unwrapping the European Social Model" is essential reading for all those involved in European social policy research, education, policy and practice. 606 $aEconomic development$zEurope 606 $aSocial problems$zEurope 607 $aEurope$xSocial policy 607 $aEurope$xEconomic policy 615 0$aEconomic development 615 0$aSocial problems 676 $a306.3094/09045 701 $aJepsen$b Maria$01811327 701 $aSerrano Pascual$b Amparo$0118257 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910956486703321 996 $aUnwrapping the European social model$94363127 997 $aUNINA
