Projects

Privatisation and marketisation of services

The aim of this project is to discuss issues related to the changing size and structure of public services and draw links with the general changes in the service economy. It is proposed to structure the research around one conceptual and three substantive work packages.

Does GATS pose a challenge for the European Social Model?

GATS proponents in the EU claim that liberalization of trade in services is crucial for the economic growth and employment. On the contrary, critics of the Agreement, including trade unions at European and national level, argue that GATS is more a risk than an opportunity, in particular with respect to the regulatory capacity of governments (and social partners), access to public and other services, jobs, pay and working conditions in the EU.
