Title: A European Welfare State?
First published: December 7, 2001
Description: "European integration arouses strong emotions. For some people a strong European social policy is essential in order to reverse the erosion of national welfare states. Others resent the 'Brussels' interference with national autonomy over social expenditure and social programmes. In this study Mark Kleinman assesses the extent to which the European Union is creating a 'European welfare state'.".

"Applying principles and insights from economic, social and political analysis, the book provides a unique assessment of the state of welfare policy in Europe and demonstrates clearly the crucial impact of economic integration on the scope and aims of European Union social policy."--BOOK JACKET.
