Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: The reconciliation of economic policies promoting the market with policies promoting social protection is one of the key dilemmas at the European Community (EC) level. Given the historic development and current diversity of the national welfare state models, achieving a "social Europe" poses many challenges, yet it is necessary to overcoming what some have referred to as Europe's "social deficit", and consequently, to maintaining popular support for the project. Recent EC efforts towards redressing this dilemma include promotion of experimental methods of regulation, chiefly the Open Method of Coordination (OMC), as means of achieving a "social Europe" through Community-level coordination of national social policy reforms. This approach has so far received mixed reviews, with some authors calling for a more integrated regulatory response at the EC level, and others fearing that the current EC agenda for a "social Europe" amounts to no more than optimizing the adjustment of social protection systems to market forces. Here, I examine this debate within the context of EC-level regulation in the area of labour and employment. I specifically focus on the recently enunciated goal of promoting work-life balance and the Directive on Working Time, and assess how this effort at EU-driven social policy compares to previous ones, and how the diversity of national social protection systems figures in this context.
