Le matrici culturali dei trattati e i diritti sociali fondamentali : dal mercato unico all'economia sociale di mercato

This article is an initial brief analysis on the evolution of the provisions of the Treaties which enumerate the objectives of the EU (and before of the EC) and establish the role of the Europe in the social field in order to underline an existing link between them and some economic and political theories. The Author devotes the conclusion to highlight how a systematic interpretation of those rules together with the Charter of Fundamental Rights gives a new perspective and a new meaning to the whole legal framework despite the original cultural background.
