What institutions and policies are needed to sustain UK economic
growth in the dynamic world economy of the twenty-first century?
After years of inadequate investment in skills, infrastructure and
innovation, there are longstanding structural weaknesses in the
economy, all rooted in a failure to achieve stable planning,
strategic vision and a political consensus on the right policy
framework to support growth. This must change if we are to meet our
current challenges and more that may arise in the future. Despite
the current recession gloom, the UK has many assets that can be
mobilised to its advantage. It has strong rule of law, generally
competitive product markets, flexible labour markets and a
world-class university system. It has strengths in many key
sectors, with cutting-edge firms in both manufacturing and
services. These and other assets helped to reverse the UK's
relative economic decline over the century before 1980. This book,
based on the work of the LSE Growth Commission, argues that the UK
should build on these strengths and proposes how we can address the
inadequate institutional structures that have deterred long term
investment to support our future prosperity.
The subject of investment relationships between the European Union
and China is an increasingly vital topic to understand, yet
academic literature has until now been underexplored. Bringing
together expert contributors, this book provides a critical
analysis of the current law and policy between the EU and China,
which will prove to be vital in the field of international economic
law. Divided into three parts, this book deals with the key issues
of the EU-China investment partnership and its implications, both
internally and internationally. Each chapter in China-European
Union Investment Relationships covers a core theme of the subject
of international economic law, including competition law, financial
regulation, economic integration and dispute resolution. Covering
the key topics in the area, and drawing diverse perspectives into a
single collection, this book is an important resource for scholars
and practitioners in legal and policy fields, and will be
invaluable for students of trade and investment law to understand
in more detail human rights and environmental law and policy.
