Employment policies in Germany and the United Kingdom: The impact of Europeanisation

The need to respond to a persistently high level of unemployment in an increasingly integrated internal market led the EU to develop the European Employment Strategy (EES). This study considers the operation of the EES in Germany and the UK, which are particularly good exemplars for analysing the impact of the EES because of the large differences in their political and economic systems.

The Anglo-German Foundation for the Study of Industrial Society was established in 1973 by an agreement between the British and German governments, on the initiative of the late President Gustav Heinemann.
