Cet ouvrage est une contribution au droit social européen portant sur la question de la rupture conventionnelle du contrat de travail à durée indéterminée. Si un tel mode de rupture est aujourd¿hui admis dans la majorité des États membres de l¿Union européenne, il est permis de s¿interroger sur les effets des législations nationales dans l¿organisation du marché du travail européen, notamment sur les droits des travailleurs. À l¿issue d¿une étude comparative sur les principes du droit des contrats, les éléments constitutifs de la relation de travail et l¿évolution de la politique sociale européenne, ces travaux proposent l¿élaboration d¿une norme européenne en vue d¿harmoniser un droit à la rupture conventionnelle du contrat de travail à durée indéterminée au sein de l¿Union européenne.

Das vorliegende Werk ist eine Untersuchung über das Selbstverständnis der vermeintlich offenen Grenzen ¿Europas¿ aus medialer Perspektive während einer der einschneidendsten Krisen des 21. Jahrhunderts.

Trade unions have repeatedly been challenged by neoliberal programmes implemented within Member States of theEuropean Union (EU) and at the European level. The twentyseven country chapters at the core of this book chart the features of the neoliberal challenge in the EU Member States and the measures implemented by unions in their attempts to adapt to changed circumstances since 2000. It is clear that union activity, either independently or in conjunction with allies, will be at the centre of revitalization campaigns if the pieces left from the neoliberal challenges are to be picked up and wielded into a coherent response.This book offers a comprehensive comparative overview of the development, structure, and policies of national trade union movements in the EU. It presents an in-depth analysis of the challenges facing these organizations and their strategic and policy responses from 2000 to 2020.

To explore this phenomenon, Nora Schütze investigates processes of coordination between the water and agricultural sector in three Spanish river basins in the context of the EU Water Framework Directive implementation. From the perspective of polycentric governance, she identifies multiple mechanisms which illustrate how and why actors interact in certain ways, and thus shows why environmental aims of the Water Framework Directive remain unachieved.
