Abstract

In the current economic and social crisis affecting Europe, dialogue is of great importance. The reaction of the EU to the present situation is evident from various discussions and documents. Following the ambitious Lisbon Strategy, a document created during a period of economic growth for most of the Member States, we now have before us the Europe 2020 Strategy. In this article, the author explores the contents of this strategy in light of the implementation of its goals of multilevel governance.

Notes

  1. We must bear in mind that in different countries this idea may be understood differently. When the term governance is translated into the languages of the Member States, we may encounter difficulties in understanding its meaning. For example, the Slovenian equivalent of governance suggests administration, rather than a political decision-making process.
