Sectoral social dialogue at EU level: Current issues and prospects
نویسنده
چکیده
In spring 2010 the Commission will issue its most recent Communication on social dialogues focusing this time exclusively on sectoral social dialogues (SSD). We take this official declaration of political plans and outline of future procedural structuring as the opportunity to elaborate on more recent developments and perspectives with a focus on sectoral social dialogues. In other words, where are SSD headed? The aim of the paper is neither to present a complete historical overview nor to provide a detailed empirical analysis of the current state of play. The objective is to cope with fundamental difficulties of the present stage of development, especially obvious problems of implementation including procedures of follow-up and monitoring, and to deal with various relevant prospects. In any case implementation must not be neglected in the analysis because it constitutes an important and even necessary phase of the policy cycle as well as an integrated part of policy making in the multilevel EU polity.
