This project investigates the fault lines and tectonic shifts in the EU structure caused by the financial crises, directly affecting the future of Social Europe and its welfare states. It cuts across three themes, i.e., people and the welfare state; Inequalities, diversity and welfare states; and rethinking the economics of the welfare state. The interest was to examine the dynamics of B/Orders of Social Europe in respect to the functions of property and to distributive justice through a systematic study of the social conversions caused by the Euro Crisis in several Member States.
