Europa Emerging Economies
About the Book Series
The Europa Emerging Economies series from Routledge, which was previously edited by Robert E. Looney, examines a wide range of contemporary economic, political, developmental and social issues as they affect emerging economies throughout the world. Complementing the Europa Regional Surveys of the World series and the Handbook of Emerging Economies, which was also edited by Professor Looney, the volumes in the Europa Emerging Economies series are an invaluable resource for academics, students, researchers, policymakers, professionals, and anyone with an interest in issues regarding emerging economies in the wider context of current world affairs.
The series includes volumes providing in-depth country and regional studies; all are written or edited by specialists in their field. Volumes in the series are not constrained by any particular template, but may explore economic, political, governance, international relations, defence or other issues, in order to increase the understanding of emerging economies and their importance to the world economy.
Robert E. Looney was Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California, and specialized in issues relating to economic development in the Middle East, East Asia, South Asia and Latin America. He published over 20 books and 250 journal articles, and worked widely as a consultant to national governments and international agencies.
