The economies of the Eurozone countries are plagued by multiple
crises, which cast major doubts over the future of the Euro. In
this engaging new book, leading heterodox economist Malcolm Sawyer
argues that the entire policy framework of the Eurozone was
fundamentally flawed from its foundation. He shows how these design
faults intensified the effects of the crisis, made an effective
response to the crash almost impossible, and are now locking in
perpetual self-defeating austerity. Sawyer proposes a bold
alternative agenda for reviving the continent s economic prosperity
and saving the Euro, centred on a Federal fiscal policy and deep
reform of the European Central Bank. He argues, however, that these
solutions would require a fundamental transformation that is almost
certain to encounter huge ideological and political obstacles. He
therefore concludes that Europe faces a bleak economic future,
blighted by low growth, high unemployment and social division. This
major contribution to one of the key economic and political issues
of our time will be essential reading for everyone interested in
Europe s future.

This volume examines current and previous environmental policies,
and suggests alternative strategies for the future. Addressing
resource depletion and climate change are pressing priorities for
modern economies. Planning energy infrastructure projects is
complicated by uncertainty, as such clear government policies have
a crucial role to play.

This is the third volume of the series of International Papers in
Political Economy (IPPE). The theme of this volume is the political
economy of a number of Latin American countries in the aftermath of
the introduction of liberalization policies in this part of the
world. In particular, the book concentrates on recent economic
performance. The book assesses notions of neoliberalism, democracy
and economic policy in Latin America, examines the economic
policies of the first period of President Lula da Silva in Brazil,
appraises Chile's experience between neo-liberalism and equitable
growth, considers of the possibility of Argentina in the late
twentieth century and early Twenty-First being a case of disruptive
international financial integration, and assesses recent political
economy in Venezuela, examining the extent to which political
stability matters in the case of Ecuador.
This book examines alternative economic policies for the European

Constitution. The subject range includes macroeconomic policy and
the European Constitution, EU financial integration, the reform of

European Union.
In examining alternative economic policies for the EU after the
rejection of the European Constitution, this book covers:
macroeconomic policy and the European Constitution; EU financial
integration; reform of European regional policy; assessment and
alternative proposals on European structural policies; and labour
market policies in the EU.
The financial liberalization thesis emerged in the 1970s and has
been of considerable importance ever since, not merely in terms of
its theoretical influence but, perhaps more importantly, in terms
of its impact on policy makers and policy debates. Although it has
encountered increasing scepticism over the years, it nevertheless
had a relatively early impact on development policy, which still
continues unabated, through the work of the IMF and the World Bank.
The latter two institutions, perhaps in their traditional role as
promoters of what were claimed to be free market conditions, were
keen to encourage financial liberalization policies as part of more
general reforms or stabilization programmes. This book explores
what we have learned from the vast experience of the theoretical
and policy aspects of the financial liberalization.

An examination of the future of economic policy in the next
millennium, assessing the reasons for the shift to a more sceptical
view of the role of government given the power of the financial
markets and the impact of globalization. These contributions from
within the political economy tradition emphasise the important
lessons from the past about the varieties of forms of capitalism,
the importance of public institutions and public policy and the
limitations of the rival laissez-faire approach. The dangers of an
unregulated and powerful financial sector for the real side of the
economy are a particular focus of attention. Proposals to rectify
the shortcomings of financial markets and shift the focus of policy
to a greater concern for the poor and excluded are put forward. The
message to the economic policy-makers of the future is that markets
perform valuable economic and social functions, but perform these
better when appropriately regulated and controlled.
What can Keynesian economics mean in the 21st century? Do
globalization, inflationary pressures and supply-side constraints
make managing demand in a domestic economy impossible? Or could its
use to tackle unemployment be put back on the political agenda?
These essays examine the potential relevance of Keynesian policies
for Europe, America, the developing world and the global economy.
There is no common definition, but Keynesianism is throughout seen
as more than demand management, with policy proposals to promote
investment, strengthen the supply-side and reduce uncertainty.
