Reviews

'The "deepening" of the European integration process - the single market, the single currency and the like - raises major questions about the role of the EU in social policy and the sustainability of different national models. Geyer's book provides a timely, well-informed discussion of these pressing issues, combining theoretical reflection with history and detailed empirical analysis. Its accessible style means that students, policy specialists, and tutors can each benefit from it.'Professor Kevin Featherstone, Department of European Studies, Bradford University 'Geyer considers European Union social policy broadly over the past half century, including issues of employment, gender, antipoverty, health and safety, youth and the elderly, and focuses on the late 1980s and early 1990s ... Geyer has provided a firm and useful base upon which future scholars can build. Carefully researched with an extensive bibliography.' Choice
