European Economic Integration : Limits and Prospects

The move to full European Union has created an extremely complicated economic entity at the heart of the world economy. This book examines the key economic elements of this new entity: looks at monetary policy, fiscal policy and agriculture.

In this major new text, Miroslav N.Jovanovic presents an analysis of all the major aspects of economic integration in the European Union. Beginning with an overview of the origins of European integration, he moves on to discuss in detail all the main policy areas. These include:
*monetary policy
*competition policy
*industrial policy
*fiscal policy
*trade policy
*the Common Agricultural Policy
*foreign direct investment
*regional policy.
The volume also includes a discussion of less well-known policy areas, such as social policy, environmental policy and transport policy. Containing an excellent blend of theory and practice and presenting a highly complex issue in an accessible and non-technical way, this text will be an invaluable resource for students of international economics, international business and European studies.
