European Union economicsUpplaga 5

Now in its fifth edition, European Union Economics has been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect a major turning point in European evolution - the completion of the single market monetary unification. Each chapter has been analysed closely and reordered to give prominence to events which have become more significant in the light of European integration after the EMU. This new edition retains the style of previous editions and continues to focus on the economic analysis of public policy rather than detailed descriptions of the European Union and its institutions. In doing so, it continues clearly and accessibly, to provide an ideal introduction for students coming to the subject with little or no prior knowledge. Features of this edition include: Boxes that present additional or alternative interpretations of crucial events either by example or case study Figures that help clarify theoretical points and present statistical information directly and comprehensibly Further Reading and Web Guide sections at the end of each chapter that detail specific references to relevant publications A Companion Website that contains a comprehensive package of extra material, answers to questions in the book and a downloadable Instructors Manual European Union Economics is ideal for students of economics, business, finance and government who wish to have a comprehensible and clear picture of the European Union and its policies. Theo Hitiris held the Jean Monnet European Chair in Economic Integration at the Department of Economics, University of York, UK, 1991-2001.
