“…The emerging logic was that the way towards a more robust EU economy, one which is able to withstand shocks and crises, is more harmonization or policy convergence across the EU, including in social and labour policy. The prescribed antidote has therefore been a partial Europeanisation of labour policy, aiming for greater convergence of economic development and strengthening competitiveness (Syrovatka, 2023).…”

“…The ability of the EU to collect best practices and provide ready-made solutions, which the member can draw from during a crisis, also contributes to Europeanisation. However, European and national trade unions and EU-critical forces in member states have contributed to limiting the expansion of EU labour and wage policy competences, also during the Covid-19 pandemic (Syrovatka, 2023).…”

<p>To what extent and how did the Covid-19-pandemic trigger the Europeanisation of public policy in the EU member states? This article addresses this question by exploring member states’ responses to the labour market implications of the pandemic. Although the EU due to its free movement principles in effect has a common labour market, labour market policies have remained in the hands of the member states. Nonetheless, we find that they responded in a surprisingly similar manner to rising unemployment caused by lockdowns. Was this policy change linked to Europeanisation processes, and if so, in what way? We find that member states’ responses were related both to economic incentives and to contingent learning playing out in largely informal settings at the EU level. Our findings shed light on how crises may function as a critical juncture that triggers policy change, and how the EU may play a key role in such change. Our study thus also adds insights to our understanding of the mechanisms that underpin Europeanisation, in particular by shedding light on the importance of informal learning processes and the influence of the European Commission also in formally less integrated policy areas.</p>
