Archimedes 2001 - 'masters of science programme'

Objective

The state services can be divided in the ones that could be put into private production (pensions, health system) and the ones that cannot be put into private production (market control, legal system, defense,). The first group is therefore seen as market good and citizens accept commodity differentiation and thus behavior of the state as a company (if one spends more, one pays more). Public pension systems and health system are reforming in such a direction. The other group is harder to put in such a context, since it's fundamentally different. How can be claimed that one person is getting more national defense than the other? Thus the assumptions in theory presented earlier. However I have to point out that a big problem may stem from the fact that some of the mentioned state services can be viewed in both terms and therefore create confusion. Understanding of all the rolese of pension system for instance, being both a part of social policy (safety net) and an investment in the future, provides us with the power to know the right way to treat them. In the following paragraphs i shall focus on the second group of state services. Continued integration will accentuate the pressure both for "flexibility-oriented" reform and for greater harmonization of social policies. Since social policies differ even among countries with similar income levels, they constitute compelling reasons for different national preferences. Policy-makers should strive for minimum standards but only when these are acceptable to all countries. We can think of social policy as a state service. Therefore we can expect that in future there will some common social policy standard across European Union. However some state services will remain under jurisdiction of countries. So basically EU citizens will have two providers of state services. One is going to be the country and the other will be EU. Within every country each citizen shall be treated the same. However
