This book aims to bring together different contributions
highlighting how the recent changes that modify universities'
activities, such as the necessity to internationalize and crucially
rely on third party funding, and the new entrepreneurial
trajectories stemming from the recent economic-financial crisis,
contribute to emphasize the existing differences between successful
and lagging regions, as occurred at a country level (e.g. Southern
Europe). This book should be of interest to economists,
sociologists, political scientists as well as to policy makers and
practitioners involved in the creation of value at a local level.

This volume of selected articles was released in light of the new
economic, social and environmental challenges Europe and the United
States have been faced with following the end of the Cold War and
in the evolving era of globalization. National security,
immigration, and the provision of health and other key social
services call for a radically different outlook in terms of policy
discussions. The contributors of this book focus on seven key
policy issues and challenges that currently affect the United
States and Europe: income distribution, the gender pay gap, crime
and security, unemployment, health care, the demographic question,
and environmental regulation. The purpose of this volume is to
analyze how public policy within the European context is responding
to the challenges posed by this new global era.
