Abstract

Social Europe" refers to the European Union's social policy in areas of shared competence with the member states. In the course of European integration, social policy has mainly been conceived as a product or means of the single market and single currency. The protective and redistributive function of social policies has remained essentially within the competence of the member states, even though they are subject to increased mutual competition. This trajectory is to be understood against the backdrop of the inter-state logic that predominates within the EU, and the conflicts of interest between member states. Despite certain achievements, the European Socle of Social Rights, proclaimed in 2017, could not, on its own, substantially alter this trajectory. To go further, the EU should evolve towards a genuine fiscal and budgetary union, and the social dimension should be integrated into all EU policies, including macroeconomic and budgetary surveillance, instead of being considered as a subordinate "social pillar"
