Abstract:
Although a great number of scholars have attested the “slow-burning” crisis of Social Europe between the mid-20XXs and the beginning of the 20XXs,recent developments in EU social policies show important novelties, especially thanks to the adoption of the European Pillar of Social Rights (EPSR). Our argument is that the EPSR witnesses a renewed activism of the European Commission-led “supranationalism”, which unfolds through the revival of the “Community Method” in a political environment marked by an increased domestic politicisation of the European integration process. In so doing, the EPSR acted as both a “polity-maintenance” and “policy-trigger” strategy by deepening the EU integration in social policy domain after a decade of substantial polity inertia. The article also discusses the explicit and implicit legacy of the impact of EPSR on Social Europe by looking at the new initiatives and strategies carried out by the von der Leyen Commission.
