Beskrivning

When seeking to bench mark the performance of European economies, commentators often look to compare them to the economies of Japan and the United States. How Europe's Economies Learn shows how this is seriously misleading, and how any such comparison needs to be complemented with an understanding of the fundamental differences between Europe's economies.The contributors provide an up-to-date description and analysis of the way differences in state systems and institutional contexts, such as labour markets, education and training systems, and financial systems, shape learning processes and innovation performance across the member nations of the European Union. In doing so, it draws important conclusion for how policy strategies should be designed at the national and European levels in order to further promote the goals of the Lisbon process.

Recensioner i media

This book is the most elaborated attempt to bridge three crucial theoretical and policy-oriented agendas: innovation, labour market and human resources. These are the very key sources for a successful European economic performance. The European Council - the most authoritative institution of the Old Continent - has clearly recognized it since its Summit in Lisbon. But what conditions should be met to transform Europe into the most dynamic knowledge economy of the world? The essays in this volume show what transformations are required to benefit from current technological opportunities. The contributors indicate that Europe can pioneer a new way of managing innovation and human resources in the world learning society.
