European Citizenship and Social Policies

Abstract

In recent years there has been a revival of academic interest in the social rights of citizenship and, perhaps stimulated by this, British politicians of left and right are engaged in unusually explicit disputes about the basic meaning of citizenship. Principally about the rights and duties of British citizens, the controversy has a European Community (EC) dimension because the proposed Social Charter embodies rights of a type regarded by British Conservatives as socialist. However, even without the Social Charter, there is a set of Community social policies and the purpose of this chapter is to discuss the extent to which they provide a basis for a European citizenry. There are several reasons why this is of interest. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
