El Modelo Social Europeo entre la modernización competitiva y la resistencia frente al neoliberalismo.
Keywords:
social policy, european discourse, neoliberalism, social struggleAbstract
The European social model is a phrase often heard in European discourse. This article describes the remarkable shift the term has experienced in the last two decades. While it was first invented to symbolise Delors’s vision of a social-democratic Europe, it was then increasingly used to legitimise a predominately neoliberal integration process, before becoming a justification for the cutting back of existing welfare systems. The popularity of the European social model, however, still stems from the fact that it articulates an alternative to US-style free-market capitalism. The concept is therefore also used by left forces in order to formulate their vision of an alternative Europe.
