| Summary: | 碩士 === 淡江大學 === 歐洲研究所 === 82 === The important issue of coordination of social security is more
than often overlooked under the massive effort of European
intergration, when in fact social security have become the
major problem confronting members of the European Union, with
the potential of disrupting the financial and economic
stability of individual nations. While each member nation is
dealing with its own burdens of social security, work is in
full progress on the intergration of an united Europe.
Therefore it is important to carefully scrutinize the pros and
cons of individual systems and forecast the impact it will have
in the European Union. Solutions must be sought prior to
intergration to avoid irrepairable damage. This theses is
divided into four chapters: Chapter 1: Define the concept of
social security; introduce the systems in the twelve member
nations. Chapter 2: Discuss on the necessity of coordination of
social security with emphasis on its significance, purpose and
goals. Chapter 3: Introduction of the regulation on
coordination of social security in the European Union, using
regulation No. 1408/71 as blueprint. Chapter 4: Evaluate how
the coordination of social security is being implemented in the
European Union, and discuss the prospects of social security
coordination from the perspective of "Social Europe". Through
the course of institution and development of coordination of
social security in the European Union, it is not difficult to
realize that while coordination has a positive effect towards a
common market, many nations are discouraged by the financial
difficulties it may entail, so that the general attitude
towards implementing and enforcing coordination regulations
have become both cautious and conservative.
