This thorough and compelling book offers a long-run perspective on
the European economy from 1500 to the present day, and compares
Europe's position of world dominance in the nineteenth century with
its vacillating fortunes in the twentieth century. Europe is set
specifically within an international context to illustrate how it
influenced the rest of the world and how in turn the latter helped
to shape the pattern of European development. The authors explain
why Europe overtook the formerly advanced Eastern civilizations and
how this resulted in the growing inequality among the nations of
the world which is such a marked feature in the present day. They
then trace the development of the European economy within the
context of the international economy and analyse the reasons for
its rise to world dominance in the nineteenth century and then its
collapse and revival in the twentieth century. Europe in the
International Economy 1500 to 2000 will be of interest to students
and scholars of economic history and international economics.

This is the ideal companion text to "A Political History of
Western Europe Since 1945." It is an introductory survey which
explains how western Europe built up its postwar prosperity and is
moving towards continental integration. Themes treated include: the
origins of the EC; consumerism; youth culture and protest;
immigration; the oil crisis and its aftermath; and the contrasting
experience and expectations of the Nordic world and the
Mediterranean south. The book ends with the consequences of Soviet
collapse. Designed for general history students, it assumes no
formal knowledge of economics, and is notably accessible and
user-friendly in its approach.
