European Integration social dimension: theoretical and conceptual approach
Journal Title: Relații Internaționale Plus - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 13
Abstract
The study addresses a relevant topic for the Moldovan society in the face of selfdetermination with regard to regional integration. EU integration is a policy choice for the Moldovan state; a cultural mission for the institutions responsible for young people’s training and educating; hope for citizens employed abroad. At each stage of European integration: the nearby technical assistance and cooperation, association and integration, Moldovan society has concrete goals reflected in the documents signed by the heads of state institutions. Achieving this is possible only through assimilation of European values, awareness of the EU founding states’ experience. Undecided Moldovans referring to involvement in political decision-making process often change political situation in the country. To convince them that the European model of European integration is viable and advantageous it is necessary to duplicate employees’ efforts in promoting European values, in teaching various courses at European Studies. The experience of European countries in guaranteeing social rights by helping the person to meet basic necessities is a priority objective in agenda of teachers and researchers of political, social, economic processes. The author notes that the social dimension of European integration is reflected in social policy objectives, which over the years have been reformulated, updated. The given thesis is justified by the content of the European Social Charter, amended for three times over three decades (1965 -1995). European institutions have found that the state intended for postindustrial society lies in its ability to protect, to support a person, to help adapt to the conditions dictated by the market economy. The laws of the market economy limit and often exclude state involvement in the management of business processes. Also in conditions of globalization and market economy vulnerable groups, who lost, for various reasons, their ability to work or have lost their jobs require assistance and social protection. To fulfill their obligations towards citizens, European states have developed different models of interaction with the private sector of national economies, civil society, known as the British, Scandinavian, continental, corporate, Mediterranean models, assessed as component parts of the European Social Model. By applying comparative study to analyze the experience of European countries, the author manages to elucidate the specificity of each model and to formulate recommendations for the Moldovan political class. Research methodology: Big opportunities in defining and decoding European integration process content, the phenomenon of social assistance and protection and their content analysis, comparative study, synergistics. The application of historical method allowed the author to follow developments of programs of assistance and social protection content.
