Beskrivning

With formidable challenges facing Europe today, effective and well-designed structural reforms are key to shaping Europe’'s future. This book examines the achievements and failures of past structural policies so that new concepts can adapt to address remaining and newly emerging challenges with greater success. Tangible policy advice is offered in the original contributions to this book, re-assessing past ‘'moments of truth'’ in European structural policy. The book focuses on the area of Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe (CESEE), not least because this region has been largely successful through a profound transition period. Highlighting the social aspects and distributional effects of reforms that go beyond liberalization and deregulation, the book covers key issues facing Europe in the future, particularly those arising from technological innovation. Structural Reforms for Growth and Cohesion will prove a useful book for academic researchers looking into European policy progress and reform. Indeed, it will also be a vital reference tool for policymakers seeking to deepen their understanding of the challenges facing a modern Europe and how these can be tackled.Contributors include: O.
