Book Description
The EMU debt crisis that emerged in 2010 has identified a group of Southern countries, especially Greece, Portugal, Spain and Italy, as low performers exhibiting several serious macroeconomic imbalances, and it has also highlighted that EU integration experienced by Eastern European countries (especially the latter-comers to EU) was not accompanied by a rapid process of real convergence. Since then, the research about the effects of peripherality have regained a renewed interest to ultimately ground better regional policy recommendations aimed at achieving a sustained reduction of income per capita disparities across EU regions. In this new work, Pascariu and Duarte, along with an international group of acclaimed scholars, delve into key challenges currently facing the European Union. They investigate this central question: does the domestic market system lead to the development of a center-periphery model, by highlight gaps, or does it support the convergence process? Analyzing the effects of peripherality across the EU regions, a two-fold approach is used to deliver policy recommendations grounded in economic theory, and of interest to other countries and regions facing a process of integration.
About the Author
Review Scholars of economics, politics, and environmental science explore eastern versus southern peripherality as an important issue for the European Union and European Monetary Union. They cover integration, growth, convergence: southern versus eastern peripherality; structural transformations in southern and eastern enlargements; core-periphery particularities in eastern and southern Europe: case studies; and core-periphery patterns and policy implications: sectoral issues. Among specific topics are a comparative analysis from a new economic geography perspective, Dutch disease in central and eastern European counties, clusters of rural European regions: an approach to show the multi-dimensional character of core-periphery patterns, and beyond the core-periphery model: policies for development in a multi-dimensional space. -- Annotation ©2017 ― (protoview.com)
