Knowledge is fast becoming one of the main sources of wealth, yet
it can also become a source of inequalities. The New Knowledge
Economy in Europe attempts to determine whether it is possible to
hasten the transition towards a knowledge-based economy and enhance
competitiveness with increased employment and improved social
cohesion across Europe. The book is an amalgamation of the
scientific and political agendas which led to the European strategy
for the knowledge-based economy adopted by the European Union. Its
authors illustrate their own influence on European policy making
with contributions on a broad range of subjects, including: * the
potential for the growth of a knowledge-based global economy * new
challenges for the welfare state * emerging trends in employment *
the role of international benchmarking as a policy learning tool *
the construction of European identity * the building of multilevel
governance required to undertake reforms. The results of the
European strategy for the knowledge economy have become apparent
throughout the EU in policy areas including research, innovation,
single markets, education and employment, amongst others. This is
the new blueprint for economic and social modernisation in the EU.
The New Knowledge Economy in Europe will be of great interest to
academics, managers, public administrators and professional
organisations involved in studies of Europe or innovation.
