Part 5: Social cohesion
• Definition:Social cohesion involves building shared values
and communities of interpretation, reducing disparities in wealth and income, and generally enabling people to have the sense that they are engaged in a common enterprise, facing shared challenges and that they are members of the same community (Rosell, 1995).

Social Cohesion in the EU

European Social Policy
• Subsidiarity: no EU intervention in national social policy (Every member state has own social policy)
• EU regional Policy: dividing prosperity
CESRT/ Zuyd University/ Maja Rocak

![Page 43: Social Cohesion in Europe Summer Course Magellan Exchange May 2011 Maja Rocak Research Centre Social Integration CESRT](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d375503460f94a10367/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Assumption:
“Work is the route out of poverty”“Employment is the main road to social cohesion”
![Page 44: Social Cohesion in Europe Summer Course Magellan Exchange May 2011 Maja Rocak Research Centre Social Integration CESRT](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d375503460f94a10367/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
EU Social Cohesion Policy
• Indicators: GDP, poverty, income inequality, etc.
• Integration of economy and social policy• European Social Fund (supports (almost) only
employment and training)
CESRT/ Zuyd University/ Maja Rocak
44
![Page 45: Social Cohesion in Europe Summer Course Magellan Exchange May 2011 Maja Rocak Research Centre Social Integration CESRT](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d375503460f94a10367/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Some conclusions:
• No clear definition: has multiple meanings in policy use
• Emphasis on economic aspects• Multiple ways of measuring (including
multiple EU indicators and national indicators)• Multi-dimensional phenomenon: reduction of
inequality and poverty presents consensus dimension
CESRT/ Zuyd University/ Maja Rocak

Conclusion
European Union
• Promoting employment as a way out of exclusion
Member states

Part 6: Five Models of the European Welfare State
• Welfare states financed through taxation• Core question: what welfare mix (state,
market and civil society) is responsible for welfare delivery?
• Neo-liberalism: less state (less taxation), more market, more civil society
CESRT/ Zuyd University/ Maja Rocak
47
![Page 48: Social Cohesion in Europe Summer Course Magellan Exchange May 2011 Maja Rocak Research Centre Social Integration CESRT](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d375503460f94a10367/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Five Models of the European Welfare State
• Identification of models/regimes:– Social democratic (state – Nordic countries)– Liberal (market - UK)– Conservative (civil society - Germany)– Rudimentary (Portugal)– Countries/societies in transition: former
communist countries (Hungary, Slovakia, etc.)
