Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: The paper deals with the impact of OECD and EU on national active labor market policies in 22 established democracies of the OECD-country group. Both OECD and EU are strong proponents of activation measures. However, OECD has no systematic impact on active labor market spending whilst EU does. A common European Employment Strategy does not mean better employment policies, though. The EU has contributed to an expansion of national spending on active labor market policies, but their effects are not very much different from those of non-EU countries and EU countries before the inauguration of the European Employment strategy. This corresponds to an argument that international expert organizations such as OECD are able to develop coherent and potentially effective policies but are not very successful in implementing these policies. In contrast, supranational political organizations such as the EU may influence national policy makers. These national politicians have to take into account requirements of the national political process in addition to the ideas and goals disseminated by the EU. Hence policy development at the level of policy formation and policy implementation reflects both domestic and supranational political interests. This makes national strategies in labor market policies to a mix of goals, often far away from the goals which originally and officially have been set on the supranational level.
