Summary: | 碩士 === 淡江大學 === 歐洲研究所 === 83 === This thesis begins with the historical relationship between the
United Kingdom (UK) and the European Union (EU).Then it dis-
cusses the attitudes of different British goverments towards
the the European Community or the EU,especially the British
opinions and attitudes after the Social Policy Agreement of the
Maastricht Treaty is effective.After that,the thesis deals with
the development of the legal fundations of the EU social
policy, the legal effect of the Social Policy Agreement,and the
applications of the Principle of Subsidiarity in the EU social
policy. According to the proceedings, the thesis analyzes why
the UK opts out the Social Policy Agreement and the UK response
on the EU social policy.Although the UK has opted out the
Social Policy Agreement,the UK could not avoid the indirect
effects of the Social Ploicy Agreement.So it is very important
for the British government to think about the issue that the
possibility of the Social Policy Agreement will be applicated
in the UK. In 1996, the EU will convene a conference among the
governments of the EU member states and redisscuss the future
objects of the EU,at the same time,the heads of the EU member
states will talk about the direction of the development of the
EU social policy. The thesis is concluded on the adjustment
between the British social policy and the EU social policy.
