The development of European unification has reached a critical
stage. Despite 75 years of peace, increases in welfare, and growth
since World War 2, there is now a growing scepticism of the
European agenda from various quarters, most notably embodied in the
exit of the United Kingdom from the European Union. To fully
understand the dynamics at work, this book presents an introduction
to the development of the political economy of Europe from 1900 to
2020. The first part of the book provides an overview of European
economic and political history from 1900 to the present. It is
clear from this history that Europe's population, and most notably
its leaders, have been deeply influenced by ideology during this
time. This sets the context for the second part of the book, which
takes a closer look at some major paradigms framing European
dynamics: (1) the market-oriented paradigm, (2) Marx's paradigm,
and (3) the fascist paradigm. In this part, the essential core of
each of these paradigms is presented and critiqued. In the third
part, the current bottlenecks of European evolution (the migration
crisis, Brexit, rise of new Fascism, the climate crisis, the
COVID-19 pandemic) are investigated in the light of a possible
emergence of a new scientific paradigm. Europe's role in the global
division of labour - its possibility to serve as a role model for
the advantages of democratically governing a highly diverse set of
populations - is also explained. This book is an ideal text for
students undertaking courses on the political economy of Europe in
either economics or politics departments.
