The Solidarity Principle in the New EU Member States

Valentina Colcelli

Chapter 10 in Inequalities During and After Transition in Central and Eastern Europe, 2015, pp 247-264 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter aims to assess how the legal traditions of the some new EU Member States (Formerly Planned Economies) impacted on country differences dealing with redistributive aims and approaches. This is primarily done by analysing the provisions that are directly or indirectly related to equity redistribution and solidarity (i.e., access to the health services, social services, taxation systems) included in the constitutional laws. The chapter adopts as its starting conceptual perspective the well-known legal origin theory approach (La Porta et al., 1998), commonly employed to explain how legal traditions reverberate on cross-country institutional differences.
