Capacity building for social dialogue at sectoral and company level in the new Member States, Croatia and Turkey

The objective of this comparative research project is to assist the new Member States (NMS) of the European Union, along with the two candidate countries Croatia and Turkey (CC2), to build their capacity for sectoral and local social dialogue in anticipating and managing change. The project was first initiated by the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions in 2005, when it launched a research project on social capacity building at national level in a joint effort with the Swedish Work–Life Development Project.
