Enlarging Europe: The Industrial Foundations of a New Political Reality

What are the prospects for integrating the Central and East European countries into the European Union? Enlarging Europe: The Industrial Foundations of a New Political Reality, shows that the outlook is surprisingly good. The book challenges policy-makers to seize opportunities offered by emerging regional production networks to stimulate growth, create jobs and strengthen political support for enlarging the European Union. Careful quantitative analyses and detailed case studies demonstrate how European multinationals are forming international production networks that enhance their positions in global markets. Timely and comprehensive, Enlarging Europe is essential reading for policy-makers, business leaders and scholars concerned with the future of the European Union, the competitiveness of the European economy, and the political and social development of Central and Eastern Europe.
