Routledge - The European Union and the Social Dimension of Globalization

Explore the complex relationship between the European Union and the global social landscape. This volume from the Routledge GARNET series offers a detailed account of the EU's social role on the world stage. By examining the Union through the lenses of both law and political science, the text assesses how much influence the EU actually has in shaping the social aspects of globalization. Readers will gain insight into the coherence between the EU's international social objectives and the activities of the International Labour Organization (ILO). The book also looks at how these social goals relate to broader EU foreign policy. From the social dimension of EU trade relations to the involvement of civil society, this work provides a necessary examination of how European policy affects global social standards and international relations.
