Globalization and the Reform of European Social Models*
本文指出全球化带来威胁与机遇，欧洲需改革劳动力市场和社会政策以应对。作者认为不存在单一的欧洲社会模式，而是四种模式，其中北欧和盎格鲁-撒克逊模式效率高，但只有北欧兼顾公平与效率；大陆和地中海模式效率低且不可持续，必须改革。
Abstract Globalization implies changes that create both threats and opportunities. The challenge for Europe is to become flexible in order to avail of the opportunities this brings and surmount the threats. This requires reforming labour market and social policies. When thinking about such reforms the notion of a single ‘European social model’ is largely irrelevant. There are four different European social models, each with its own performance in terms of efficiency and equity. The Nordic and the Anglo‐Saxon models are both efficient, but only the former manages to combine equity and efficiency. The Continental and Mediterranean models are inefficient and unsustainable; they must therefore be reformed.
