HISTORY OF EUROPEAN UNION SOCIAL LAW

Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to highlight some key facts of the development of EU labour law and EU social security law. The aim is not to be exhaustive but to situate those highlights against the canvas of some fundamental dimensions/tensions which underpin European Union social law. 1. On which organizational level is social law made in the EU? Is it mainly made at Member State level and/or at EU level? 2. What is the role of the European Union? Is it about negative integration (removal of artificial obstacles) and/or positive integration? 3. What is the function of EU social law? Is it rather market correcting and/or market making? 4. What is the character of EU social law? Is it mainly hard law (legally enforceable rights) and/or soft law? 5. What is the aim of EU social law? Coordination and convergence and/or harmonisation? These dimensions should be considered as a continuum and not as opposites.
