We are very pleased and honoured to succeed Frans Pennings and Mike Adler as Editors of the European Journal of Social Security (EJSS). When Mike and Frans created the Journal more than twenty years ago, the single currency had just been launched and the European Union had formally entered into accession negotiations with six countries from Eastern and Central Europe. This was just the start of a new round of enlargement of the EU, with 10 new Member States joining in 2004 (including Malta and Cyprus), followed by Bulgaria and Romania in 2007, and Croatia in 2013. Enlargement was largely considered a success, and a reason for optimism about the future (e.g. European Commission, 2006). In their first editorial, Mike and Frans (1999) noted the severe challenges the addition of countries with much lower GDP per capita and living standards would imply for economic and social policy at the EU level. As a result, they expected that enlargement would ‘generate pressure to promote a specifically European social policy, and thereby to transform the EU from an economic union into an economic and social union’ (Adler and Pennings, 1999: 3-4). These expectations for an enhanced role of social policy at the EU level were combined with an acknowledgement of pressures in many Member States to cut back on the generosity of tax-benefit systems due to ‘[g]reatly increased life expectancy, fundamental changes in the labour market, new social risks […], and rising public expectations’ (Adler and Pennings, 1999: 4).

从东部扩张到英国脱欧-以及其他

我们很高兴也很荣幸能接替Frans Pennings和Mike Adler担任《欧洲社会保障杂志》(EJSS)的编辑。二十多年前,迈克(Mike)和弗兰斯(Frans)创立《华尔街日报》时,单一货币刚刚发行,欧盟正式与东欧和中欧的六个国家开始加入条约。这仅仅是欧盟新一轮扩张的开始,2004年加入了10个新成员国(包括马耳他和塞浦路斯),其次是保加利亚和罗马尼亚(2007年),以及克罗地亚(2013年)。以及对未来感到乐观的理由(例如,欧盟委员会,2006年)。在他们的第一篇社论中,迈克和弗兰斯(Mike and Frans,1999)指出,人均GDP和生活水平低得多的国家的加入将带来严峻的挑战,这将意味着欧盟层面的经济和社会政策。结果,他们希望扩大规模会“产生压力,以推行专门的欧洲社会政策,从而将欧盟从经济联盟转变为经济和社会联盟”(Adler and Pennings,1999:3-4)。这些对在欧盟一级增强社会政策作用的期望与许多成员国的压力得到了认可,这些压力是为了减少税收福利制度的慷慨,因为“预期寿命的确实增加,劳动力市场,新的社会风险[…]和公众期望的提高”(Adler和Pennings,1999:4)。结果,他们希望扩大规模会“产生压力,以推行专门的欧洲社会政策,从而将欧盟从经济联盟转变为经济和社会联盟”(Adler and Pennings,1999:3-4)。这些对在欧盟一级增强社会政策作用的期望与许多成员国的压力得到了认可,这些压力是为了减少税收福利制度的慷慨,因为“预期寿命的确实增加,劳动力市场,新的社会风险[…]和公众期望的提高”(Adler和Pennings,1999:4)。结果,他们希望扩大规模会“产生压力,以推行专门的欧洲社会政策,从而将欧盟从经济联盟转变为经济和社会联盟”(Adler and Pennings,1999:3-4)。这些对在欧盟一级加强社会政策作用的期望与许多成员国的压力得到了承认,这些压力是为了减少税收福利制度的慷慨,因为“ [g]预期寿命的确实增加,劳动力市场,新的社会风险[…]和公众期望的提高”(Adler和Pennings,1999:4)。
