Based on these findings the authors develop...

Description
Integration is the most significant European historical development in the past fifty years, eclipsing in importance even the collapse of the USSR. Yet, until now, no satisfactory explanation is to be found in any single book as to why integration is significant, how it originated, how it has changed Europe, and where it is headed.

It provides a systematic account of welfare retrenchment and assesses the competing explanations of this process. The authors provide evidence for the view that an 'ever closer union' in social policy will require a much more difficult process than that which led to monetary union."
