Summary

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 all major aspects of European integration. Beginning with an overview of the origins of European integration, Miroslav Jovanovic then moves on to discuss in detail all the main policy areas: monetary policy, fiscal policy, agriculture, industry, trade, the regions, and welfare. The volume also includes a discussion of less well-known policy areas, such as social policy, environmental policy and transport policy. Presenting a highly complex issue in an accessible way, this text will be an invaluable resource for students of international economics, international business and European studies.
