The Impact of Social Policy in the United Kingdom

Doreen Collins

Chapter 11 in Britain within the European Community, 1983, pp 213-233 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The argument for the integration of Western Europe through the creation of the three communities, ECSC, EEC and Euratom, did not depend for its essentials upon the need for a strong social policy at supra-national level. The analysis was far more concerned with broad political and economic issues whose positive effect upon social well-being, although very significant in a general sense, would be mainly indirect. Whilst it is impossible to under-rate the importance of achieving a stable political environment and of encouraging the growth of resources as a contribution to social welfare, in large part the construction of the Community left the specific use of such larger resources under the control of member governments.
