OverviewThis collective volume is undoubtedly a major contribution to understanding the causes and consequences of the crisis of the Euro-zone, with a special emphasis on the implications of new and not yet EMU members. A skilful combination of contrasting theoretical and policy perspectives, a refreshing interchange among academics and practitioners from a number of countries, it is a must reading for anyone seriously interested in the political economy of crisis and reform in Europe. - Laszlo Csaba, Professor of International Political Economy, Central European University and Corvinus University of Budapest; Past President, the European Association for Comparative Economic Studies This book offers a refreshing analysis of what is rapidly becoming Europe's lost decade. The authors, all established experts in their fields, see light at the end of the tunnel, but it seems quite distant. - Andre Sapir, Senior Fellow, Bruegel; Professor of Economics, Universite libre de Bruxelles The papers included in the volume uphold the pressing question of whether Europe can resume its role as a 'growth and convergence engine'. Issues of growth, macro-stabilization and employment in the economically diversified internal market come in this context to the fore of the discussion. The editor of the volume, Professor Beata Farkas, skilfully brings together research focusing on diverse facets of the European economies in order to address questions such as: (1) Does one size fit all? (2) How can we change the EU budget to make it more effective? (3) Can Europe learn some lessons from the two lost decades in Japan? (4) Is inflation targeting a proper approach in defining monetary policy? (5) How do we conduct an effective fiscal policy? The added value of the volume consists in diversified methodological and conceptual perspectives employed to address the problems at hand. Ideas and arguments are presented in a novel and interdisciplinary manner. As such, the discussion that unfolds throughout the volume will be stimulating for researchers, decision-makers in the government and those in the corporate world. My recommendation is simple: take the book and read it . . . - Katarzyna Zukrowska, Professor of International Economics and Political Science, Head of the International Security Department, Warsaw School of Economics; Member of the Prognoses Committee, Polish Academy of Science Full Product DetailsAuthor: Beata FarkasPublisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing Imprint: Cambridge Scholars Publishing Edition: Unabridged edition Dimensions: Width: 14.80cm , Height: 3.00cm , Length: 21.20cm Weight: 0.522kg ISBN: 9781443846202ISBN 10: 1443846201 Pages: 285 Publication Date: 13 June 2013 Audience: Professional and scholarly , Professional and scholarly , Professional & Vocational , Professional & Vocational Format: Hardback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: In Print  This item will be ordered in for you from one of our suppliers.

(Katarzyna Zukrowska, Professor of International Economics and Political Science, Head of the International Security Department, Warsaw School of Economics; Member of the Prognoses Committee, Polish Academy of Science) The Aftermath of the Global Crisis in the European Union constitutes an excellent contribution to the debate on (the future of) the EU's integration project. [...] The volume is easy to follow, as the authors present clear explanation of the issues discussed. It will be of interest not only to researchers dealing with the topics covered but also to students seeking to understand the problems related both to the global economic crisis and to the eurozone crisis. - Joanna Stryjek, Yearbook of the Institute of East-Central Europe, Volume 11 (2013), Issue 5 This book constitutes a comprehensive summary in terms of the diversity of subjects it covers, enabling the reader to understand the main features of the global and financial crisis and the challenges the EU and some specific groups of member states have to face. The authors are quite sceptical about the previous attitudes of policy makers but seem hopeful for the future notably in providing theoretical and practical ways out. [...] Accordingly this book constitutes a high quality overview of the global crisis that can be used as a starting point for further explorations of the different topics covered. -Emmanuelle Siou, Central European University, Europe-Asia Studies, 67:1 Author InformationBeata Farkas is an Associate Professor at the University of Szeged, Hungary.
