The chapter introduces the topic of the book and presents the main argument. Subsequently, the theoretical framework for this study is presented: The main assumptions of the Varieties of Capitalism approach and its perspective on skills, training and Europeanisation are discussed as well as related contributions from the comparative political economy literature. This perspective is then complemented by a short summary of the Europeanisation literature. On the basis of this literature review, the research framework and the research methodology of this book are laid out. © 2016, Springer International Publishing Switzerland.
