Europa e solidarietà dopo la crisi : un'agenda per il «lavoro intellettuale» / M. Ferrera. - In: POLITICHE SOCIALI. - ISSN 2284-2098. - 3(2014), pp. 329-352. [10.7389/78430]
Abstract:
The article investigates the role played by ideational dynamics in
generating the strains and tensions which have exploded during the crisis between economic
integration and social protection. Drawing on the insights of Weberian theory, the
article argues that a reconciliation between these two dimensions/spheres of the EU must
confront two distinct intellectual challenges. First, the recognition that the EU (and EMU
in particular) have irreversibly become complex adaptive systems with «emergent» properties,
requiring centralized steering well beyond the current institutional status quo. Second,
the search for normative principles for a correct framing of both the «democratic-ness»
question and the «fairness» question in the EU. The latter is particularly important for
solving the new conflict lines emerged during the crisis, i.e. between core and peripheral
economies, on the one hand, and «old» vs. «new» Member States, on the other.
