Overview

The Economics of the European Union draws on a wide range of expert contributors to provide an in-depth economic analysis of the European Union. The topics covered include the operation of the Common Agricultural Policy, the functioning of European Monetary Union, the operation of the EU's competition policy, and the EU's foreign aid, technology, and environment policies. Also included are analyses of social policies in the EU countries, the economics of enlargement, and Europe's unemployment problem. Trade and integration theory are presented in a succinct form and there is a clear guide to the increasingly complex area of fiscal policy in Europe. This third edition also covers more recent developments, including European Monetary Union and the operation of the Stability and Growth Pact. The book features tables and figures for a clear presentation of the most important and recent data underlying the economics of the European Union. Study questions accompanying each chapter encourage students to think analytically about the subject and to apply the theoretical approaches outlined in the main body of the text. The combination of analysis, theoretical background, and clear statistical presentation offered by this new edition will make it the ideal study and reference guide for all those interested in the policies and institutions which shape Europe's economic landscape.
