Europa Economic Perspectives
About the Book Series
Europa Economic Perspectives
Providing in-depth analysis with a global reach, this series from Europa examines a wide range of contemporary economic issues from areas around the world. Intended to complement the Europa Regional Surveys of the World series, Europa Economic Perspectives will be a valuable resource for academics, students, researchers, policymakers, business people and anyone with an interest in current world economic affairs.
While the Europa World Year Book and its associated Regional Surveys inform on and analyse contemporary economic, political and social developments, the Editors considered the need for more in-depth volumes written and/or edited by specialists in their field, in order to delve into a country’s or a region’s particular economic situation, or to examine economic theories in the context of current global economic affairs. Volumes in the series are not constrained by any particular template, but may explore any aspect of a country’s recent economic issues in order to increase knowledge.
