Thematik Network - Policy Coordination

01.09.2001 - 30.04.2005
Research funding project
The overall objective of this Thematic Network is to propose improvements of European economic policy co-ordination which contribute to the achievement of full employment and stronger social co-hesion in an enlarged European Union. To achieve the overall objective three sub-objectives will be pursued: (1) A first sub-objective is the clarification and comparative analysis of the historical de-velopment, the current pattern of economic policy co-ordination on the member state, the EU and the accession country level in three major fields (macroeconomic, social and structural policies). (2) A second sub-objective is the elaboration of improved mechanisms for economic policy co-ordination in these three areas within the "old EU" (EU15) and the enlarged new EU. (3) A third sub-objective is to establish close and continuous contacts between the network and the scientific community as well as a broad spectre of policymakers and social groups on the European and national level, which should on the one hand have an impact on the activity of the network and on the other hand be a me-dium for the dispersal of work results.
