The book contains eleven contributions altogether, each of which addresses different dimensions of the evolution regarding welfare functions in EU law - at times already from the adoption of the Treaty of Rome in 1957 until today. The first two essays have a more general character and consider the issue of new aims and values of the EU. In this context, Christian Joerges’ essay discusses the renaissance of the European Economic Constitution, whereas Bruno de Witte and Dragana Damjanovic at the general level discuss welfare integration through EU law in the light of the Treaty of Lisbon. Ruth Nielsen, Andrzej Swiatkowski, and Michael Dougan focus on union citizens and migrant workers. Ulla Neergaard, Vassilis Hatzopoulos, Erika Szyszczak, and Grith Ølykke address the issue of liberalisation of public welfare services in different contexts. Finally, Lynn Roseberry and Aileen McColgan consider the relationship between prohibitions against discrimination and integration of welfare functions into EU law.

The book is the second publication from the project "Blurring Boundaries: EU Law and the Danish Welfare State", see further http://www.cbs.dk/forskning_viden/institutter_centre/institutter/law/men...
