Reflexive labour law, capabilities and the future of social Europe
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The chapter argues that the transformation of European labour law from focussing on employment protection to employment promotion can best be understood by using the concept of reflexive labour law. It outlines main tenets of the concept and explores its compatibility with transitional labour market and capability policies in the context of welfare and employment policies of the European Union. It demonstrates reflexivity in European social policy by discussing the Open Method of Coordination in welfare and employment policies, the European Employment Strategy and the demand for soft law. Reflexive elements are also detected in the Green Paper on the Reform of Labour Law in Europe and in efforts of concretising the concept of flexicurity for policy purposes. Finally the chapter comments on the impact of regulatory competition after the Court’s rulings in Viking and Laval and analyses the emerging agenda of financial stabilization packages and their implications for European labour law.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
