Issues of the European and international economy in the era of globalization

Globalization provides many challenges for the economies of Europe and beyond. The eleven papers in this Festschrift approach economic globalization from a theoretical, empirical, and policy perspective. Issues covered include international trade, the European Monetary Union, debt crises, fiscal policy, environmental policy, corporate policy, economic institutions and oil prices. There is a focus on European economic issues; however, Latin America, USA and Japan are also covered.
