Abstract

This paper seeks to explore the irony of British
regulatory and ideological influence on the normative choices by which EU
institutions have opted to respond to the Eurocrisis. The reforms on the Greek
collective labour law system that have pursued thus far are presented, and
their underlying normative rationale is critically explored. It is
suggested that the Eurocrisis has been but an opportunity for the promotion
of extreme free market, if not neoliberal, agendas, in the pursuit of economic
theories, and respective policies, that are already facing considerable critique.
Finally, the paper examines whether a British-influenced model of collective
autonomy is suitable for restoring growth and social cohesion in a country
whose economy is certainly not yet out of the woods, and compatible with the
EU objective of a social market economy.
