Europe and the Mediterranean Economy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Edited by Joan Costa-Font reader in Political Economy at the London School of Economics and Political Science, UK.<\/em><\/p>\n

With the creation of the Mediterranean partnership and the move towards the creation of the Union for the Mediterranean in 2008, a new emphasis is placed on the Mediterranean in the study of European Integration.<\/p>\n

This book brings together a collection of experts to address this important new area of study and discuss issues such as development, aid, labour markets, human capital investment, Europeanization and institutional reform. It is the first and possibly the most updated book on the economics and political economy in Mediterranean, which aims at first providing a wide overview of the institution-building and regionalization process that is taking place in the Mediterranean, containing a broad discussion of the successes and limitations in building a Mediterranean space in the midst of the construction of Europe. Then the book contains an economic and policy analysis of the process of economic liberalization and its effects on macro-economic performance. Specifically, the book contains chapters addressing questions on trade liberalization, the effects of the global financial crises in the Euro-Mediterranean area, as well as how liberalization has impacted economic growth. A section addresses problems, with micro-economic reforms, and more specifically privatization and labour market stability, alongside productive efficiency in the area. Finally the book addresses the question of how reforms in the Mediterranean have affected welfare and, more specifically, poverty, migration and the environment.<\/p>\n
