Today's EU constitutes an upper tier of government that affects almost every level of policymaking in each of its twenty-seven member states. The recent financial and economic crises have tested this still-evolving institutional framework, and this book surveys key economic challenges faced by the EU. Prominent European economists examine such topics as the stability of the financial markets and possible policy options to reduce future vulnerability to crises, including Glass-Steagall-style narrow banking; the effect of emerging economies such as China and India on Europe's economic position; the protection of national interests in industrial policy; reforming and preserving the welfare state in the face of unemployment, population aging, and worker mobility within the EU; and improving the EU's institutional framework by reassigning responsibilities among supranational, national, and local governments. Among the conclusions that emerge from these analyses are the necessity for banking regulation as well as budgetary discipline; the need to consider global as well as European integration; and the idea that an environment that fosters internal competition will increase Europe's competitiveness internationally. 000433528 651_0 $$aEurope$$xEconomic conditions$$y21st century. 000433528 651_0 $$aEurope$$xSocial conditions$$y21st century. 000433528 651_0 $$aEurope$$xPolitics and government$$y21st century. 000433528 7001_ $$aBüttner, Thiess,$$d1966- 000433528 7001_ $$aOchel, Wolfgang,$$d1943- 000433528 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tContinuing evolution of Europe.$$dCambridge, Mass. : MIT Press, 2012$$z9780262017015$$w(DLC) 2011024402$$w(OCoLC)730114680 000433528 8520_ $$bacq 000433528 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000433528 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=3339360$$zOnline Access 000433528 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:433528$$pGLOBAL_SET 000433528 980__ $$aEBOOK 000433528 980__ $$aBIB 000433528 982__ $$aEbook 000433528 983__ $$aOnline
