1st Edition
Understanding the New Global Economy A European Perspective
Understanding the New Global Economy: A European Perspective argues that globalisation is facing economic and political headwinds. A new global economic geography is emerging, cross-border relationships are changing, and global governance structures must come to terms with a new multipolar world.
This book clarifies the fundamental questions and trade-offs in this new global economy, and gives readers the tools to understand contemporary debates. It presents a range of possible policy options, without being prescriptive.
Following a modular structure, each chapter takes a similar approach but can also be read as a stand-alone piece. State-of-the-art academic research and historical experiences are weaved throughout the book, and readers are pointed towards relevant sources of information .
This text is an accessible guide to the contemporary world economy, suited to students of international economics, political economy, globalisation, and European studies. It will also be valuable reading for researchers, professionals, and general readers interested in economics, politics, and civil society.

European integration is Globalisation – writ small and large. Small, though not that small, given its regional dimension. Large, since it allows for a significantly deeper integration and embedding of markets. Harald Sander, in most accessible ways, provides his readers with the data and the tools to understand what is happening around them. A most impressive achievement!
