The Economics of Europe and the European Union

More about the book

Focusing on the economic foundations and historical context of the European Union, this textbook offers a dual perspective by analyzing both EU policies and individual nation-states, including recent accessions like Turkey. It traces the EU's evolution from the post-World War II era to its 2004 enlargement, while examining how various countries have responded to significant external challenges such as the Cold War and the oil crises. The comprehensive approach highlights the interplay between European nations and the EU's economic strategies throughout history.
