Series Details:

The widening and deepening of the European Union (EU) has led to a considerable interest in the European economy. Europe is now, without doubt, one of the most significant areas of the world economy, rivalling North America and East Asia. However, the next decade is clearly going to witness further significant changes in Europe, both inside and outside the EU. This series provides the economic background essential to understanding such changes. It includes studies of individual countries and wider regional studies.
