Social Protection in Bulgaria
Functional Systematization and Influence of Constitutional, International, and European Union Law
Zusammenfassung
Die vorliegende Arbeit ist die einzige eingehende Studie, die den Einfluss von Verfassungs-, Völker- und EU-Recht auf den bulgarischen Sozialschutz im Detail untersucht. Die Untersuchung ist nicht nur in Bezug auf den konkreten nationalen Kontext wertvoll, sondern trägt auch zu einer umfassenderen Debatte über das Ausmaß bei, in dem Grundrechte neben der ständigen Umstrukturierung des Umfangs und der Ausgaben von Sozialschutzmaßnahmen zu subjektiven Positionen führen können. Darüber hinaus trägt die Untersuchung der Einflussmöglichkeiten des EU-Rechts zu differenzierteren Diskussionen über dessen umstrittene Rolle gegenüber den nationalen Sozialschutzsystemen bei.
Abstract
The current work is the only in-depth study examining in detail the influence of constitutional, international, and EU law on the Bulgarian social protection. The research is of value not only in relation to the concrete national context but also contributes to larger-scale debates on the extent to which fundamental rights result in subjective positions alongside the constant restructuring of the scope and expenditure of social protection measures. Moreover, the examination on the influence capacity of EU law contributes to more nuanced dis-cussions on the latter’s debated role vis-à-vis national social protection systems.
