  abstract  = {The European Employment Strategy (EES) belongs to the European Union's „softer", legally non-binding policy instruments. Many politicians and academics associated its introduction with the expectation for a strengthening of the EU's social dimension and democratic quality. This article examines whether, so far, the EES can be regarded as effective and legitimate. To illustrate this, the author briefly examines the role of the EES for the development of labour market policy in Germany and the UK.},

  abstract  = {In the need to reform the German labour market, the so-called ‚Hartz IV'- Act cut down subsidies for unemployed people in order to increase the pressure for searching for a new job. By law, low-paid jobs shall be introduced. However, even if this creates employment, there will be a future problem: pensions for these people will dramatically drop below the poverty line. The author argues that, in order to avoid such 'poverty-traps', an alternative social support system should be considered: a 'tax transfer system' with lowered income tax, yet complete reduction of legal exceptions on the one hand, and transfer systems combined with work incentives on the other hand.},

  abstract  = {The article points to the following causes of German social policy reform, as it has taken shape by the so-called 'Hartz'-Acts: the self-inflicted financial crisis of the welfare state, the return of party leaders as agenda setters, and the weakening of employers associations and trade unions in this policy field. Through a large, informal coalition, the political parties have responded to various internal conflict constellations.},
