Nowadays, a short essay on the perspectives of European labour markets may easily turn into a very ambitious piece of political persuasion or into an obscure and trivial contribution to an endless debate. In the case on hand, the main aim is to stress how deficient till now has been the debate and how relevant is to revise the analytical framework employed in designing their evolution as well as in governing their actual performance. The implicit assumption is that a better interpretative framework can help both in managing the micro and macro-economic imbalances at four levels of global interaction: intra-European level; Euro-Atlantic level; Euro-Mediterranean level; Euro-Global South. The task of the author could be simplified, on the one hand, if the reader is willing to deepen the topic through some recommended reading whenever he will not find enough explanation of the suggested statements. On the other, some of the issues tackled in the present essay are included in the ongoing research project on inequality in the framework of the Global Study Programme. Therefore subsequent publications originating from it will shed more light on the topic.

Abstract
Nowadays, a short essay on the perspectives of European labour markets may easily turn into a very ambitious piece of political persuasion or into an obscure and trivial contribution to an endless debate. In the case on hand, the main aim is to stress how deficient till now has been the debate and how relevant is to revise the analytical framework employed in designing their evolution as well as in governing their actual performance. The implicit assumption is that a better interpretative framework can help both in managing the micro and macro-economic imbalances at four levels of global interaction: intra-European level; Euro-Atlantic level; Euro-Mediterranean level; Euro-Global South. The task of the author could be simplified, on the one hand, if the reader is willing to deepen the topic through some recommended reading whenever he will not find enough explanation of the suggested statements. On the other, some of the issues tackled in the present essay are included in the ongoing research project on inequality in the framework of the Global Study Programme. Therefore subsequent publications originating from it will shed more light on the topic.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
