Abstract
The present special issue of Perspectives on Federalism reflects on the nature and characteristics of solidarity within a supranational context, it explains what solidarity has meant so far in the EU, how much solidarity we had during the crisis, what type of solidarity is needed and how to build it. It focuses on the new economic governance and its solidarity mechanisms during and after the economic crisis but tackles other related fields such as its impact on services of general economic interest or the European budget, as well as other areas where solidarity is also discussed such as the free movement of persons. This mono-graphic issue has its origin in the International Conference "Solidarity in Hard Times. Solidarity and the European Social Model in Times of Economic Crisis" organized by the University Institute for European Studies (IDEE) on 11-12 June 2015 in Madrid, within the Jean Monnet Network MoreEU ("More Europe to Overcome the Crisis").
Keywords: EU law, solidarity, supranational integration, new economic governance
