The author examines liberal, governance, intergovernmental approaches and neofunctionalism in the EU and European integration management; constructs regional policy, comitology system, «European» regulatory agencies. They are considered as the elements that modify the traditional management control method in the EU. The governance approach is used for the analysis of interactions, which are often referred to "low" policy – daily regulation. It determines the «political face» of the EU. The approach uses multi-level governance concept and the open method of coordination. The first one has a narrow testing scope and aims to explain only the integration realities; the other one is more of a universal character. Attempts to comprehend this method face the lack of empirical research due to the relative novelty of the open method of coordination and complex combination of horizontal and vertical processes within it.

This chapter focuses on the European Union’s employment policy, which is currently formulated and implemented via several parallel modes of policy-making, including the standard Community method of legislating and a softer mode of policy-making and innovation via the European Employment Strategy (EES). The chapter begins with a discussion of the three modes of policy-making and governance in European employment policy that have been developed since the 1960s: the mode of legislated ‘rights’, based on the classical Community method; the mode of ‘law via collective agreement’; and a ‘new’ mode of governance, using the open method of coordination. It then considers employment policy-making before the Treaty of Amsterdam and employment policy innovations post-Amsterdam. It also examines social and employment vs economic rights in EU law and concludes with an assessment of future prospects for EU employment policy.
