Download or read book Competitiveness and Solidarity in the European Union written by Paolo Chiocchetti and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting in the 1980s, competitive pressures and the ideology of competitiveness have shaken and transformed traditional models of development, public policy, and governance in Europe. This edited book carries out a comprehensive, interdisciplinary, and innovative analysis of the relationship between competitiveness and solidarity in the contemporary European Union. It offers an original contribution to the scholarly debates on the current developments and challenges of welfare states, social and economic policies, and forms of governance in the European Union. Bringing together an international team of cutting-edge scholars in the social sciences and the humanities, Competitiveness and Solidarity in the European Union sheds light on the conceptual richness and policy relevance of these relationships, pointing to important avenues to make the European Union more economically successful and socially fairer. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of European Union studies and, more broadly, of EU Law, Public Policy, Economics, Sociology, Political Science, Geography, and Contemporary History.
Download or read book Boosting European Competitiveness written by Marek Belka and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2016-10-28 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the global financial crisis, competitiveness gaps between Euro area countries caused additional strain. This book discusses the various dimensions of competitiveness, with a special focus on Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe. With products becoming ever more technically sophisticated and global interconnectedness on a relentless rise, quality, customer orientation and participation in production networks are as important as relative costs and prices. For Europe to proceed with convergence and to resist global competitive pressures, policies to boost productivity and innovation are therefore vital.
Download or read book Research Quality Competitiveness written by Attilio Stajano and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-09-22 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Union (EU) was launched as a response to the economic dominance of the United States and – to a lesser degree – the Soviet Union. The nations of Western Europe were too small to compete against large scale and diversi?ed economies on their own. Six countries, eventually expanding to 27 (and counting), took a series of steps toward progressively deeper integration: the removal of int- nal tariffs, the construction of a common external tariff, the elimination of many (but not all) non-tariff barriers leading to a single market, and the adoption of a c- mon currency by 15 of the member states. The EU today equals and even exceeds the U. S. on many key indicators of performance. In the process, two similar but nonetheless divergent models of social and economic life stand in contrast with each other. The U. S. is more committed to capitalism and does little to dilute its harsh edges while the nations of Europe support wider social safety nets and more active regulation of commercial activity to mute the crueller aspects of the free-market. Until recently, the economic dynamism of the U. S. called into question whether the so-called European social model was sustainable in an era of globalization. The EU was slipping in competitiveness and was being challenged by new global pow- houses like China and India. Although the U. S. economy has slowed, there is little indication that European countries are capable of leveraging the situation to their advantage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Europe is in a troubled state. The macroeconomic situation looks grim, national governments are close to dysfunction, and Europeans are facing austerity and relative decline. The one bright spot on the horizon is the potential for positive action at the level of the city and urban regions. In this book, the editors have assembled a collection of original contributions by scholars from Europe, North America and Asia who offer insights as to how local authorities in Europe might be able to chart a course for their city or urban region during this period of extraordinary difficulty. The volume begins with an Introduction, followed by a set of three papers in Part Two examining European urban competitiveness from the standpoints of measurement and policy. This section also provides a case study of the cities of one country _ Italy _ from which the reader can gain an understanding of the current position of European cities as well as what might be possible going forward. Experience has shown that perhaps the most crucial element in competitiveness enhancement is good and effective governance. To that end, Part Three examines structural aspects of urban government, including polycentric regions, wide metropolitan cooperation, the role of social actors and territorial aggregation. Part Four treats issues of innovation from two perspectives and provides a case study from Eindhoven, while also covering social issues such as demographics, participation, social exclusion and mobility. This set of scholarly reflections will be of considerable benefit to urban practitioners, researchers and students of public policy.

Download or read book European Competitiveness Report 2002 written by European Commission and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the sixth report from the EC on the competitiveness of European industry. It extends the scope of analysis from the fifth report, taking into account human capital (the set of skills which an employee acquires on the job, through training and experience, and which increase that employee's value in the marketplace) in European economic and productivity growth and productivity performance in European services. Two in every three jobs are now situated in the service sector, but the changing nature of labour demand in the EU are in skill content, as opposed to the sectoral location of employment growth. Between the years 1995-2000 employment was largely confined to jobs for medium- and highly skilled workers, for which demand is still high. Demand for such workers has outstripped supply, which seems to be a general trend across the EU. The five chapters examine productivity growth as it relates to human capital and EU services; the convergence of the EU's enterprise and competition policies and sustainable development in the EU manufacturing industry.
Download or read book A Compass to Guide EU Policy in Support of Business Competitiveness written by Fredrik Erixon and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The EU agenda for improving competitiveness is missing in action. Economic competitiveness has been a central plank in the development of the European Union - a relentless quest for policies that lead to more prosperity and that make European companies in world markets more successful. However, since the end of the Lisbon Agenda in 2010, economic competitiveness seems to have fallen off the EU map. This Agenda had its flaws, but it rightly sought to make Europe "the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-economy in the world". The impression now is that Europe is on the retreat and the current European Commission is the first without a strategy to strengthen competitiveness at the EU level since the early 1990s. Hopefully, a course correction may now be on its way. Ursula von der Leyen has promised a "competitiveness check" on new EU policy. With the strong economic headwinds facing Europe and the world, the EU needs to pursue structural economic reforms that raise productivity and growth. This report offers a map and a competitiveness compass for the EU to find a new path towards a flourishing society. The report takes aim at faster economic growth in Europe. Growth is not the only target for the economy but is a prerequisite to achieve many of the non-economic objectives that are important. For instance, improved rates of growth are necessary to boost living standards in Europe, and to give many more citizens economic opportunities that have been absent after a decade of strong economic turbulence. Faster growth and stronger European competitiveness are also central in an age of increasing geopolitical frictions and war. The West and its allies are economically strong and innovative. But it is equally obvious that their economic power to command the direction of the world economy has weakened, and that the only way to fight against the economic gravity that takes more business, investment and innovation to China and other emerging economies is to make our own economies more competitive. Moreover, there is no environmental sustainability without innovation. To address climate change, Europe need as much technological progress as it can muster.
