Key findings, in brief 1. Europe is recovering not only economically, but also in the domain of social justice After years of downward movement, an upward trend in the domain of social justice is evident in the broad majority of EU member states. Although far from all member states have regained their pre-crisis levels, the most recent EU Social Justice Index data give cause for hope that the worst is over not just in economic terms, but also from a social perspective. At the top of this year’s Social Justice Index are the northern European states of Denmark, Sweden and Finland. Round- ing out the top group are the Czech Republic, Slovenia, the Netherlands, Austria and Germany, while Greece, despite again posting slight gains this year, remains clearly in last place. Labor market recovery as a driver of social improvements Recovery in the labor market has been the primary driver of improved participa- tion opportunities in the EU. Job opportunities have improved in 26 of the 28 states as compared to the previous year. Recent data show the unemployment rate as a cross-EU average to have fallen to 8.7%. In 2013, at the height of the social crisis, this was 11% on a cross-EU basis (2008: 7%). An upward trend is also evident for the employment rate, which has risen from 64.1% (2013) to 66.6% (2016). An additional positive sign is that the recovery in the labor market has visibly reached the countries hit hardest by the crisis, even if the overall volume of joblessness remains very high particularly in southern Europe. In Greece, for example, the unemployment rate has fallen from 27.7% (2013) to 23.7% (2016), while in Spain a decline from 26.2% to 19.7% has been evident in the same time period.

Media arts centers, however, have played a pivotal role in the continued access, use, and preservation of materials produced by the communities that they serve. These non-profit media collectives were imagined as a distributed network of organizations supporting the production, exhibition and study of media; serving as information centers about media resources; and supporting regional preservation efforts. However, media arts centers have remained over-looked and unexplored by the archival field. This dissertation seeks to shift this balance, including these artist-run organizations as part of the network of archives and collecting institutions preserving independent media.

Which policy issues are best dealt with by central decision making at EU level, and which are best handled at member state level? This question takes on particular prominence when it comes to one of the EU’s cornerstones: the Single Market. While there has been a broad consensus on the economic benefits of free movement of labour, capital, goods and ser- vices, there are concerns about unnecessary regulation that fails to take local structures sufficiently into account. The Austrian government has made this a key point during its presidency of the Council of the EU in the second half of 2018. Bertelsmann Stiftung and Copenhagen Economics are here contributing to this debate with a study on the eco- nomic case for subsidiarity and proportionality in the EU. This report has been presented at the Presidency’s conference "Subsidiarity as a building principle of the European Union" in November 2018.
