This volume investigates how non-standard employment models can be effectively regulated across diverse European institutional and political landscapes. The authors, led by Regalia, utilize a comparative framework to evaluate the shifting demands of modern labor markets. By examining the interplay between local-level actors and firm-level decision-making, the text argues that social innovation at the regional level offers a viable path for addressing the complexities of flexible work arrangements.

Experts identify this work as a significant contribution to the study of European labor policy and institutional diversity. Readers frequently note the academic rigor and the practical utility of the comparative case studies for policymakers and researchers alike.
