Abstract

The struggle over the academic and political meaning of a European Social Model (ESM) is still ongoing. According to the Lisbon Strategy, the framework setting is intentionally left to the market actors. However, it is obvious that positive integration within the EU to a certain extent is a necessary complement to negative integration. Consequently, there seems to be an urgent need to throw sand into the transmission of the ‘satanic mill’ (Polany, 1978, p. 59) of deregulated markets. This should be the task of another ESM than the one announced on the summit of Lisbon 2000 and since then advertised by the EC.
