Abstract
The paper studies social divergences between and within EU members states (MS) over the past fifteen years and assesses
whether the reform of the new EU fiscal rules and economic governance, which is currently proposed by the European Commission, can complement EU’s cohesion policy in stemming the erosion of EU’s social cohesion that was produced by the three major crises of the period and their political management. Finally, we present alternative proposals by governments, academics and the European Trade Union Confederation.
