Advancing Social Rights and Standards: From Coordination to Convergence in the EU

This presentation, led by Dr. Wolfgang Schulz-Weidner at the 2008 ESIP Conference in Brussels, explores the crucial theme of trans-border coordination of social rights for workers and EU citizens. It examines convergence as both a gradual process and an activist approach, discussing macro-economic growth and stability, social standards set by the Lisbon agenda, and the open method of coordination. Additionally, it addresses the harmonization of product and social standards, emphasizing the need for solidarity and cohesion at the European level to enhance social rights for all.
