This agenda-setting book shows how freedom of movement has made the
integration of Europe's labour markets a contentious issue, for
example in the aftermath of the eurocrisis, where workers had to
make great sacrifices to enable the currency area to function. It
argues that the process of market integration in Europe has
undermined the power and influence of European workers and
generated significant human costs. In starting from the position of
labour, this book offers an alternative approach which balances the
needs of justice and efficiency. With appeal across a wide range of
readers interested in economic integration, it provides lessons for
policymakers in how to integrate Europe's member states to better
protect workers and citizens.
Norwegian Catch-Up looks at the early Norwegian economic trajectory
in light of its external commitments and opportunities. Detailing
Norway's economic performance relative to other countries at a time
characterized by globalization, it has particular focus on the role
of international trade, investment and migration. The book examines
how a small open state adapted successfully to the demands of (and
opportunities provided by) a global market place. Not only did
Norway manage an impressive economic record but it developed
concomitantly. In short the Norwegian example provides hope for
development in a context of globalization. This text provides the
student with a pioneering new vantage point for understanding the
nature and scope of today's globalization and its effect on
economic (and political) development. It also provides a historical
reflection on the liberal antecedent of modern social democracy.

This book explores three particular strategies in the extractives
sector for creating shared wealth, increased labour opportunities
and positive social, environmental and economic outcomes from
corporate projects, namely: state wealth funds (SWF), local content
policies (LCP) and corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices.
Collectively, the chapters explore the associated experiences and
challenges in different parts of the world with the view to inform
equitable and sustainable development for the communities living
adjacent to extractives sites and the wider society and
environment. Examples of LCPs, SWFs and CSR practices from 12
jurisdictions with diverse experiences offer usefull insights. The
book illuminates challenges and opportunities for sustainable
development outcomes of the extractives sector. It reflects the
need to take on board the lessons of these global experiences in
order to improve outcomes for poverty reduction, inequality
reduction and sustainable development.

While policy makers, international organizations, and academics are
increasingly aware of the economic effects of emigration, the
potential political effects remain understudied. This book maps the
nature of the relationship that links emigration and political
development. Jonathon W. Moses explores the nature of political
development, arguing that emigration influences political
development. In particular, he introduces a new cross-national
database of annual emigration rates and analyzes specific cases of
international emigration (and out-migration within countries) under
varying political and economic contexts.
