THE EUROPEANISATION OF VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND...

This book explores the impact on EU member states of intensified European cooperation in the
field of vocational education and training. By employing the Varieties of Capitalism approach
as an analytical framework  it seeks to bridge diverging views from an innovative standpoint:
While many experts argue that EU policies liberalize national training systems in spite of
being 'soft law'  Varieties of Capitalism argues that these polices do not produce a
convergence of national institutions. The book maintains that European instruments such as the
European Qualifications Framework and the European Credit System for Vocational Education and
Training are indeed biased towards liberal training regimes. On the basis of case studies on
Germany  the Netherlands and England  it shows that the initiatives were implemented in line
with national training systems. Thus  European soft law does not lead to a convergence of
training regimes - or  as the book posits  of welfare states in general.
