The Open Method of Co‐ordination: A Way to the Europeanization of Social and Employment Policies?*

Abstract: The open method of co-ordination (OMC) can contribute to the co-ordinated modernization of the national systems of employment and social protection in Europe, if it is institutionalized in a relatively stable way at the European level and if the European processes can influence effectively the national reform strategies. The first challenge was met successfully by the bureaucratization, codification and formalization of some co-ordination processes at the European level. These processes can be interpreted as t… Show more

“…Problems of employment and efficiency of ALMPs are also presented at European level, at a time of growing European integration.

This suggests a potentially even more limited entrenchment than the finding of 'isolated islands of domestic support inside ministries and bureaucracies' (Citi & Rhodes 2006:477), as to date the main achievement of the OMCs on social inclusion and employment, policy fields that like education are characterized by deep seated different national perspectives (Heidenreich & Bischoff 2008, Zeitlin 2005. The UK is institutionally enrolled in the education OMC.…”

“…It encourages self-assessment procedures to obtain a first picture of the practice of supervision in a given area. Most important, it exercises group pressure through peer reviews, which are carried out by other members on the implementation in all jurisdictions concerned, by setting so-called benchmarks that are used to evaluate the levels of compliance, not unlike in the Open Method of Coordination (Heidenreich and Bischoff, 2008).…”
