In 2000, the European Union adopted an overall strategy to effect
transition to a knowledge economy. After coordinating the
preparation of the Lisbon European Summit which launched this ten
year strategy, Maria Joao Rodrigues provides a unique insight into
the renewal of European economic and social policies. European
Policies for a Knowledge Economy explores the information society
and research and education policies which are being combined to
build a stronger knowledge base, and enhance the growth potential
of Europe via economic reforms, enterprise and innovation policies.
The author ascertains that the European social model should be
reformed by investing in people, improving welfare provision and
fighting new forms of social exclusion. She goes on to argue that
macroeconomic policies will help to advance these structural
changes. The critical issues and underpinning debates that are
highlighted include, amongst others: * reforms targeting the
creation of more growth potential * macroeconomic policies which
vitalise employment and structural change * policies for the
information society aimed at improving standards of living * new
priorities for national education policies towards lifelong
learning * reforms of the labour markets for more and better jobs *
implications of the Lisbon Strategy for the institutional reform of
the European Union. Illustrating the challenges of a new strategic
goal for European policies, this highly accessible book will be
essential reading for a wide-ranging audience - scholars, public
administrators, business people and anyone else with an interest in
European policies and their implications for national agendas.
