It is the first to systematically examine national debates on redistributive policies in the EU and the role of European solidarity within them by analysing French and German parliamentary debates on redistributive EU policies during the euro crisis and the migration crisis. By doing so, the book addresses the question of how relevant the idea of European solidarity is when redistributive policies in the EU are discussed at the national level and examines the conditions under which it is ascribed more or less relevance. Moreover, the book reveals that what European solidarity actually means in practice is often highly contested Bibliography Includes bibliographical references Notes Online resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed August 2, 2021) Subject Politics and government SUBJECT European Union countries -- Politics and government France -- Politics and government -- 21st century Germany -- Politics and government -- 21st century Subject European Union countries France Germany Form Electronic book ISBN 9783030761752 3030761754
