Abstract

Since Maastricht, there has been a concerted effort at the EU level to forge a fair and mutually responsible legal relationship between labour and management. What is sought is a legal framework for labour relations that will protect-and even nourish-the most important employment interests of all Europeans. It is now clear, with more than a decade's perspective, that many unforeseen obstacles and pitfalls-both legal and practical-have slowed the progress of this social dialogue. The European Social Dialogue Revisited focuses on what has gone wrong, what has gone right, and what initiatives should be taken to ensure a positive continuation of the trend toward greater social justice. The eight authors who have collaborated in this endeavour represent the highest levels of interaction among scholars, social partners, and EU institutions involved in the European Social Dialogue. This book is the final product of their Brussels conference in October 2002, organised by the Social Law Department of Ghent University. Their deeply informed contributions respond to such probing questions as the following: • Does the much-talked of European social model really exist? • Are effective collective agreements feasible under the current EC Treaty? • Is the conclusion of collective agreements negotiation or
