Die Implementierung der Kreislaufwirtschaft bedeutet eine große Transformation von einer ressourcenvernichtenden, linearen zu einer enkeltauglichen, zirkulären Wirtschaftsweise. Sie ist nicht konzipiert ohne Wachstum auszukommen. Allerdings ist die Postwachstumsökonomie, wie sie einige Autoren zu Recht fordern, derzeit politisch nicht anschlussfähig. Progressive Wissenschaftler empfehlen seit Jahrzehnten Dienstleistungen statt Produkteigentum, Sharing- und Reuse-Modelle und eine generelle Abkehr vom Wachstumsparadigma, um unsere imperiale Lebensweise auf ein sozialökologisch vertretbares Maß zu reduzieren. Dieses Buch stellt eine Zwischenbilanz zur Implementierung einer Kreislaufwirtschaft in der EU dar. Es wird offengelegt, was sich, öffentlich weitgehend nicht wahrgenommen, in den EU-Institutionen getan hat, welche wissenschaftlichen Grundlagen vorhanden sind und was NGOs darüber hinaus fordern. Renommierte Autoren liefern überzeugende Argumente für den Ausstieg aus dem Hamsterrad der materiellen Bedürfnisbefriedigung und zeigen auf, dass das Primat der Wirtschaft einem guten Leben für alle im Wege steht. Der Inhalt Die Positionen der EU-Institutionen Was sagen Konsumentenschützer, NGOs, die Wissenschaft? Ein anschauliches Beispiel für die Kreislaufwirtschaft Der Herausgeber Sepp Eisenriegler leitet seit 20 Jahren Österreichs größte, unabhängige Reparaturwerkstätte für E-Geräte. Täglich konfrontiert mit immer kurzlebigeren Produkten ist er ein Praktiker, der als Lobbyist für Ressourcenschonung und Klimaschutz in Brüssel schon einiges bewegen konnte. Seine österreichische Norm diente als Vorlage für die aktuelle EU-Standardisierung von Energy Related Products. Derzeit arbeitet er an der Entwicklung von Prüfmethoden gegen frühzeitige Obsoleszenz. Neben zahlreichen Preisen (z.B. Energy Globe Award, Österreichischer Klimaschutzpreis und Umweltpreis der Stadt Wien) wurde ihm 2014 das goldene Verdienstzeichen des Landes Wien verliehen.

This is a thoughtful and well-argued work that should be reading for EU scholars and all who care for its future." —Dr. Michael Reilly, former UK representative to Taiwan (2006-2009) "This well-researched book is a stimulating read. It looks at a number of the problems of the EU in recent years and presents a coherent interpretation in terms of its underlying failure by pursuing economic liberal solutions at the expense of social cohesion and equality." —Prof. John Greenaway, Emeritus Professor, East Anglia University, UK This book aims to provide an analysis of the EU’s crisis decade—from the euro crisis to the populist right parties’ resurgence and Brexit. The EU has encountered a series of crises since 2008 when the Greek sovereign debt crisis first broke out and brought forth the euro crisis. This was soon followed by the rise of anti-EU populist right parties, culminating in their unprecedented victory in the 2014 European Parliament Elections. The most unexpected shock, however, was the Brexit result of the UK's EU referendum in 2016. Providing a valuable external perspective on these events grounded in the realities of the Asian boom, this book will be of value to scholars, policymakers, and economists.

This book investigates the potential of the Spanish Sociedades Laborales (SLs) as an instrument of active labour market policy for re-turning the unemployed to the labour market. SLs are mostly small and micro enterprises and a qualified form of the conventional corporation, majority-owned by their permanent employees. Unemployed persons can capitalise their unemployment benefits as a lump sum to start a new SL or to recapitalise an existing SL by joining it. This makes SLs similar to start-up subsidies for the unemployed, an established instrument of active labour market policy across the EU. This book examines the function and success of existing SLs and explores the transferability of the scheme to other EU Member States. It tackles two widely discussed policy issues at both the EU level as well as the national level: firstly, the reactivation of the unemployed into work, and secondly the encouragement of employee co-ownership in the context of the economic reform agenda, in particular with regard to corporate governance, regional economic stimuli and distributive justice. .

This book discusses the unprecedented impact of the financial and economic crisis on government finances and economic performance across Europe, which has raised skepticism on the ability of the current course of integration to promote prosperity. Correspondingly, the European Union is about to contract for the first time in its history. This timely book covers the economic issues that challenge the future of integration in Europe. The chapters are authored by international experts and examine current and emerging challenges and trends for the European Union: economic convergence, monetary policy, competition law, transport policy, the informal sector, employment, recovery and enlargement. Four chapters focus on Greece, which has been the greatest challenge faced by European institutions in the context of the sovereign debt crisis, and one chapter discusses the possible costs of Brexit. The reader will benefit from understanding the key economic challenges, which, if effectively addressed, will lead to deepening the union, or in contrast to a multi-speed Europe.
