This volume provides an up-to-date overview of activation strategies in unemployment benefit systems and social assistance in selected European countries and the United States. A particular focus lies on the development of activation schemes, governance and implementation as well as on the outcomes of activation in terms of labor market and social integration. The volume is the first to address these issues both from a socio-economic and a legal perspective.

Experiences with Activation Schemes in Europe and the US

Bringing the Jobless into Work?

Europäische Sozialpolitik entwickelt sich im doppelten Spannungsverhältnis von nationaler Autonomie und Vergemeinschaftung sowie von Marktfreiheiten und sozialen Schutzrechten. Der Autor untersucht am Beispiel nationaler und europäischer Regelungen der Arbeitnehmerentsendung im EU-Binnenmarkt, welche politischen Entscheidungsprozesse in dieser Konstellation stattfinden und welche Regulierungsmuster hierbei zustandekommen.
