The economies of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region
have always been characterized by economic volatility and social
disparities. The recent Arab Spring wave of protests has increased
political uncertainty and instability in the region, and this
timely book provides an in-depth analysis of the subsequent changes
from economic, political and environmental perspectives. The
international contributors provide a comprehensive overview of the
situation in the Mediterranean Basin, addressing a wide range of
contributing factors including: - productivity and innovation -
trade and foreign investment - changing geo-political equilibria -
labor markets and the role of women - the environment, climate
change and energy sourcing. The book concludes that the key
problems shared by MENA countries are the uncertain economic
prospects coupled with high levels of unemployment - a combination
that, through different channels, limits technological and
innovative capacities. This book will prove an enlightening read
for scholars, researchers and students in various academic fields
including development economics, development studies, political
economy, international politics and Islamic studies. Contributors:

Productivity varies widely between industries and countries, but
even more so across individual firms within the same sectors. The
challenge for governments is to strike the right balance between
policies designed to increase overall productivity and policies
designed to promote the reallocation of resources towards firms
that could use them more effectively. The aim of this book is to
provide the empirical evidence necessary in order to strike this
policy balance. The authors do so by using a micro-aggregated
dataset for 20 EU economies produced by CompNet, the
Competitiveness Research Network, established some 10 years ago
among major European institutions and a number of EU productivity
boards, National Central Banks, National Statistical institutes, as
well as academic Institutions. They call for pan-EU initiatives
involving statistical offices and scholars to achieve a truly
complete EU market for firm-level information on which to build
solidly founded economic policies.
Increasingly, policies and laws commonly agreed within the EU shape
the political and economic scenarios of nation states in Europe.
However, the same European context is radically changing,
essentially due to three major recent developments: the adoption of
the Euro, EU enlargement to the east and the implementation of the
Lisbon Strategy of structural reforms for growth and
competitiveness. The book presents a thorough economic analysis of
these three events and of their implications for both existing and
potential EU policies and objectives. Carlo Altomonte and Mario
Nava have written a very rigorous text in an accessible and
jargon-free style, ensuring easy acquisition of invaluable insights
into the European economic set-up and the possible evolution of EU
policies, including an update on the reform of the Growth and
Stability Pact and of the 2007-13 Financial Perspectives. The
accessibility of economic concepts combined with the methodological
rigour of this up-to-date text will be of great interest to both
policy makers and students.

Manuel asiente, entusiasmado -entonces en 7 dias te espero para
ajustar detalles. Bueno, senores, creo que por hoy es suficiente,
dejenle a Gabriel las restantes carpetas y les reitero la imperiosa
necesidad de la mayor reserva. Compartimos los sentimientos mas
profundos que nos llevan a cumplir esta tarea, quiero que sepan que
este mismo sentimiento une a varias personas mas, que ustedes solo
conocen por el contenido de las carpetas que han leido. Lo que alli
se encuentra es el fruto de un silencioso pero infatigable trabajo
de muchos anos. Heredamos el mandato de concretar imperiosamente
esta tarea. No solo debemos tener exito por nosotros, le debemos el
exito a quienes nos precedieron, se lo debemos a nuestros hijos, se
lo debemos a nuestra Patria. Somos nosotros, y los incluyo desde
este momento, los afortunados herederos de este proyecto y los
responsables de su exito.- En este punto, Manuel recorre los
rostros de sus interlocutores y, aliviado, ve el brillo intenso de
los ojos, percibe la llama encendida en sus pechos, la misma que el
siente. Se pone de pie y saluda a cada uno de los invitados con un
apreton de manos; la intensidad y aprobacion que recibe en cada
saludo, lo emociona.
