The essays in this volume explore and discuss the process of
dissemination of economic ideas among Europe's less developed
countries and regions, as well as the interaction between economic
thought and economic policy in different times and places during
the nineteenth century. The comparative approach adopted sheds new
light on the course of economic development in Europe's less
developed countries in the nineteenth century and the role played
by political economy. Amongst a host of others, the topics covered
include: economic policy in Denmark monetary and trade policy in
Norway the influence of the German Historical School in Finland
land Reform and the abolition of serfdom in Russia and in Poland
With contributions that disclose important insights into national
traditions in economic thought and policy, and the diffusion of
ideas in Europe, this work will be essential reading for all
scholars of the history of economic thought.

Reflecting the diverse and profound changes triggered by the latest
wave of economic globalization, this book highlights various
governance responses at national, regional and global levels. The
topics covered are wide-ranging and include economic history and
development, European integration, exchange rate arrangements,
industrial and labor economics, international cooperation and
multilateralism, and public choice. The book is divided into three
parts: The first part, which contains contributions by Barry
Eichengreen and Marc Flandreau, is devoted to economic history. The
second part examines open economy macroeconomics with a focus on
Europe, including contributions by Jurgen von Hagen and Paul
Krugman. The third part presents contributions to international
political economy, and related interdisciplinary topics. This
Festschrift is written in honor of Jorge Braga de Macedo, Professor
Emeritus of Economics at the Nova School of Business and Economics
and a distinguished Portuguese academic whose work has an
impressive global reach. The contributions, written by a selection
of international authors, deal with his oeuvre covering the wide
range of topics broached in this book, as his publication record
amply attests.
This monograph examines the failure of the Portuguese Escudo
Monetary Zone and the birth of new monetary and financial systems
in Portuguese-speaking African countries. Examining colonial and
post-colonial times, Mata analyses the decision to build a
Portuguese monetary area in the early 1960s and mid-1970s when the
decolonisation process was peaking. This book offers some important
lessons regarding the functioning and dismantling of monetary
areas, and on the importance of central-banks' co-operation.

There has been a tremendous explosion of interest in European urban
history in the last decades. Across Europe we see a spate of new
research projects and publications examining the economic,
demographic, social and cultural devel opments of the many
thousands of urban centres -metropolitan cities, regional cities
and small towns. This is hardly surprising because urban
development has been one of the principal forces shaping the
transformation of Europe from the Renaissance to the contemporary
era. One striking feature of the new work is its strongly
interdisciplinary character with economists, archaeologists,
geographers, art historians and sociologists, as well as
historians, collaborating in research. Another feature of current
approaches is the stress on comparative urban history -using the
variable pat terns of development in different countries to shed
light not only on structural variations but on the process of urban
change itself. Testifying to this enthusiasm for comparative
history since 1990 the European Association of Urban Historians
(instituted by the European Union) has organ ised large -scale
comparative conferences on the European city at Amsterdam,
Strasbourg and Budapest. Since the 1980s there has also been a
network of Eu ropean institutions (including the universities of
Leicester, New University of Lisbon, Leiden, Cantabria, Humboldt
University, Berlin, and Strasbourg, Gent and Leuven) actively
involved in student teaching programmes in the fiel- with support
from the European Union ERASMUS programme."
