Synopsis

The relentless forces of global competition and regional liberalization have precipitated a redefinition of industrial policies within the European Union. This book advances a comprehensive account of the resultant European industrial competitiveness policy framework and its ten constituent elements. It also illustrates how individual instruments of this policy-set shape the European business environment and affect the competitiveness of firms.

A must for any business people who need to understand, survive and succeed in Europe.' - Shigeki Komatsubara, Chief Economist, Industrial Affairs Bureau, Keidanren - Japanese Federation of Economic Organisations 'This volume represents more than just an introduction to the topic, but a comprehensive and penetrating analysis of the multitude of policies that impact the competitiveness of European industry. Whether it be competition policy or technology initiatives, trade measures or infrastructure programs, European-level policies or individual national efforts, Lawton and his colleagues provide analysis of the historical trajectories of European industrial policies as well as insights into the latest policy trends.' - Glenn R. Fong, Associate Professor of International Studies, American Graduate School of International Management 'Anybody wishing to learn about the EU's industrial policy and policy instruments in the global economy must read this book. This complex subject is presented clearly, impartially and is as useful for students as for practitioners. It is the definitive text on the subject for this decade and well into the next.' - Professor Jonathan Story, INSEAD 'This book provides a broad compendium of the new tools of industrial policy...it illustrates just how important these policy instruments have been in building the networks - financial, corporate, infrastructural and educational - that are the backbone of the European integration process today.' - Professor Lynn Krieger Mytelka, Project Research Director, UNCTAD 'Very good; up-to-date information for a course that focuses on European Policy and Business.' - Mrs L O'Hare, University of Derby
