The OSE and the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC), together with the Institute for Economic and Social Research
Governance
EURELPRO (The European Association of Retirement Schemes for Liberal Professions) and OSE decided to conduct joint research in the field of pensions, with a specific focus on new challenges for tax rules regarding pensions.
The OSE has been contracted by the European Trade Union Institute (ETUI) to conduct research with a view to publishing a book on the “Social developments in the European Union 2011”. Apart from the OSE researchers, the 12th edition of this publication figures authors such as Giuliano Amato and Yves Mény (on the paradoxes around EU institutional developments in 2011), Patrick Diamond and Roger Liddle (on the Eurozone’s fitful search for better economic governance) as well as Christophe Degryse and Philippe Pochet (on the worrying trends in the new European governance).
Sebastiano Sabato holds a PhD in Political Science at the Istituto Italiano di Scienze Umane / Italian Institute of Human Sciences (SUM) in Florence. His current research interests include EU socio-economic governance, comparative social policy, social investment and social innovation, industrial relations, interest groups analysis, policy learning and policy transfer.
