Indicator-Based Monitoring of Regional Economic Integration
This volume brings together experts from different world regions. It presents various experiences with building indicator systems for monitoring the implementation of regional economic integration policies such as preferential trade areas, common markets or economic and monetary unions. The volume discusses both the technical and governance aspects of such systems, and best practices. The regional experiences that are covered include: the European Union, Eurasia, ASEAN, the East African Community (EAC), COMESA, CARICOM, the African-Caribbean-Pacific Group, and the Americas. In addition, various chapters discuss cross-cutting methodological challenges related to trade-related indicators.
Business Development and Economic Governance in Southeastern Europe
This book addresses contemporary and modern topics around business growth and economic development in Southeastern Europe. It covers a wide range of business issues focusing on the adoption of new technologies, finance of SMEs, place marketing, value co-creation, contribution to economic growth, and internationalization. Moverover, it sheds new light on the micro- and macroeconomic developments and monetary policy issues in the Eastern European and Balkan countries. This book is a useful tool for scholars in economics and finance interested in the further economic development of the Balkans and Eastern European countries as well as to professionals in the business, financial and insurance sectors.
Business Performance and Financial Institutions in Europe
This book examines the business models, performance, and decision-making approaches employed by financial institutions in Central and Southeast Europe. The respective contributions cover a wide range of industries, including banking, pharmaceuticals, and airline business services, and present both theoretical and empirical studies that highlight economy-wide risks and opportunities for European companies. The book is divided into four parts, the first of which provides a critical assessment of the competitiveness and performance of European companies, while the second examines decision-making approaches at financial institutions; the third and fourth parts address the macroeconomic risks and opportunities for business development in Europe. Intended for scholars, political decision-makers, and practitioners, the book offers new perspectives on Central and Southeast European financial and business research.
Das Recht der Ostafrikanischen Gemeinschaft
Die im Jahr 2000 wiederbegrundete Ostafrikanische Gemeinschaft (East African Community - EAC), der inzwischen neben den Grundungsmitgliedern Kenia, Tansania und Uganda auch Burundi, Ruanda und Sudsudan angehoren, hat sich das ambitionierte Ziel einer politischen Foderation gesetzt. Zugleich sind in der Integrationspraxis jedoch weitreichende Implementierungsdefizite hinsichtlich des auf regionaler Ebene erlassenen Rechts zu beobachten. Vor diesem Hintergrund untersucht Johannes Doveling, ob und inwieweit das rechtliche Regelungsregime der Ostafrikanischen Gemeinschaft dazu beitragen kann, die Integrationsziele zu erreichen. Dabei berucksichtigt er auch ausgewahlte europarechtliche Aspekte. Es tritt eine Wirtschaftsgemeinschaft zutage, die zwar der Europaischen Union ahnelt, allerdings keine nennenswerte Ubertragung von Hoheitsrechten vorsieht und sich damit im Ergebnis eher als Plattform fur intergouvernementale Kooperation zwischen den Mitgliedsstaaten darstellt.
Economic Crisis, Development and Competitiveness in Southeastern Europe
This book analyzes the foundations and means of overcoming the current crisis in the broader area of Southeast Europe. The contributions make proposals from both theoretical and empirical points of view and discuss the concept, determinants and policies of competitiveness in these countries. The financial crisis became a prolonged fiscal crisis, a bank confidence crisis, and economic recession, and the book discusses the European and national policies implemented to resolve it. It also investigates the internal conflicts generated by institutional arrangements and policy measures, both within the nation states and the eurozone. Economic competitiveness is a key topic for policymakers, as they have to secure economic growth and improve their populations’ standards of living. This volume sheds light on what constitutes economic competitiveness, as well as on the policies and economic and institutional structures that improve competitiveness.
Relaciones transatlánticas
Las relaciones transatlánticas han cobrado una relevancia particular en los últimos años, no sólo por la importancia que tiene la relación interregional propiamente dicha, sino porque su función ha sido, entre otras cuestiones, equilibrar el poder internacional. Desde que China ingresó a la Organización Mundial del Comercio (OMC) en 2001, el gigante asiático ha incrementado su relación comercial con el mundo entero, pero sobre todo con los socios tradicionales de Estados Unidos y la Unión Europea (UE), especialmente en el Sur Global, que lo proveerán de materias primas básicamente agrícolas y energéticas.
Monetary Policy
Provides a description and analysis of monetary policy in Europe and the United States. It focuses on actual monetary policy - targets, institutions, strategies, and instruments - but traditional and contemporary theoretical approaches to monetary policy form the basis for each chapter. Concentrating specifically on the European Central Bank, "Monetary Policy" offers a guide to understanding the targets, strategy, and instruments of the ECB. By combining a theoretical with a policy-oriented approach, this title should appeal to a broad readership, including investment bankers and other professional investors, central bankers, and scholars working in the field.

Hyperborder
Roving vigilantes, fear-mongering politicians, hysterical pundits, and the looming shadow of a seven hundred-mile-long fence: the US–Mexican border is one of the most complex and dynamic areas on the planet today. Hyperborder provides the most nuanced portrait yet of this dynamic region. Author Fernando Romero presents a multidisciplinary perspective informed by interviews with numerous academics, researchers, and organizations. Provocatively designed in the style of other kinetic large-scale studies like Rem Koolhaas's Content and Bruce Mau’s Massive Change, Hyperborder is an exhaustively researched report from the front lines of the border debate.
The Fire Next Door
Since the Mexican government initiated a military offensive against its country’s powerful drug cartels in December 2006, some 50,000 people have perished and the drugs continue to flow. In The Fire Next Door, Ted Galen Carpenter boldly conveys the growing horror overtaking Mexico and makes the case that the only effective strategy for the United States is to abandon its failed drug prohibition policy, thus depriving drug cartels of financial resources.
