商品簡介
The formation of the Mediterranean partnership and the Union for the Mediterranean have generated new emphasis on the region in the study of European integration. Twelve contributions address the Mediterranean in terms of institutionalism; liberalization and macroeconomic performance; privatization, labor markets, and productivity; and social welfare and public policy. More specifically, topics include institution-building and free trade agreements, a quantitative assessment of integration scenarios, the transmission of growth shocks in the EU to MENA, the impact of trade policy on wages (evidence from Egypt), the financial sector and poverty, and economic, social, and environmental impacts of the Euro-Mediterranean Free Trade Area.
