Abstract

In diesem Buch wird eine klare Analyse der BREXIT-Widersprüche von Premierministerin Theresa Mays Global Britain-Politik und der Rolle der Finanzmärkte - bei Bankenaufsicht in einem Umfeld mit drohendem ITALEXIT und transatlantischen Trump-Handelskonflikten - durchgeführt. Es beantwortet ganz aktuell die wichtigsten Fragen zum BREXIT: Wie ist das historische BREXIT-Referendum in Großbritannien abgelaufen, welches sind die Hintergründe des anstehenden EU-Austritts und welche Folgen für Deutschland, Europa und die Weltwirtschaft sind absehbar? Die BREXIT-Entscheidung ist für Europa ein Jahrhundertereignis, das die EU schwächt und die Machtgewichte global verschiebt. Die EU hat an Anziehungskraft verloren, sie ist nicht im Einklang mit dem 21. Jahrhundert, das asiatisch, digital und innovationsstark ist. Es zeigt sich, dass indirekt ein Weg von der Bankenkrise zur Anti-Immigrationswelle und zum EU-Austritt führte. Zudem war das Referendumsergebnis stark verzerrt von einer grob fehlerhaften Infobroschüre der Cameron-Regierung, die zu erwartenden Einkommensverlust als Effekt eines EU-Austritts verschwieg – mit dieser Information hätte sich eine klare Pro-EU-Mehrheit ergeben. Ein zweites Referendum? EU-Reformen? Nötig ist eine Neo-EU, die besser konstruiert ist. Die 2., erweiterte Auflage mit dem aktuellen Stand der Diskussion zum BREXIT.   Paul Welfens hat eine sehr einfühlsame Studie zu den Ursachen – und Folgewirkungen – des BREXIT geschrieben, der offenbar Großbritanniens größter vorsätzlicher Wirtschaftspolitik-Fehler seit der Großen Depression ist. Prof. Dr. Harold James, Department of History, Princeton University   Im Buch von Paul J.J. Welfens über den Ausgang des BREXIT-Referendum erfolgt eine schonungslose, nüchterne und kritische Analyse, wie dieses Referendum-Ergebnis zustande kam. Welfens listet die wesentlichen kritischen Punkte auf: Jedem, der sich mit dieser Thematik ungeschminkt und offen beschäftigen will, sei dieses Buch zur Lektüre sehr empfohlen. Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. mult. Friedrich Schneider, Department of Economics, Johannes Kepler Universität Linz   Der Autor Prof. Dr. Paul J.J. Welfens ist Präsident des Europäischen Instituts für Internationale Wirtschaftsbeziehungen (EIIW) an der Universität Wuppertal, dort zudem Inhaber des Jean Monnet-Lehrstuhls für Europäische Wirtschaftsintegration und des Lehrstuhls Makroökonomik.

Abstract

This book explores the political and economic issues currently challenging EU member states. It analyses and explains how its own economic, and political, relationships have been critically influenced by fierce competition from its rivals in other major global economies, as well as by the systemic weaknesses in the economic and financial model it created. Chapters provide insight into both the underlying and more immediate economic and social challenges in the EU created by its post-2007 enlargement to 28 countries; the nature of the regulatory regime centralized in Brussels, and the host of issues and critiques this fosters; its ‘open borders’ policy and precious guiding principle, crystallized in the Schengen agreement; security weaknesses exacerbated by increasing volumes of migration; and the ongoing debt crises as the greatest existential challenge to the EU project. Featuring interviews with high profile key players from inside and outside Europe the book will examine new and underlying stresses - political and economic - to guide a greater understanding of the EU plan.

Abstract

The book covers some of the major issues concerning the problematic relationship between respect for democratic principles and the new European Economic Governance. Innovative approaches are highlighted throughout the book: new frameworks and arrangements are proposed on the basis of efficiency analyses, as well as their institutional and legal suitability. Though the perspective adopted is essentially a legal one, the economic and policy background are also given due consideration. The papers presented here offer a balanced mix of empirical (including comparative) and theoretical analysis; several also combine the two approaches, carrying out empirical analyses, then setting the results against theoretical options. Given the relative dearth of literature on democratic principles and the EMU, let alone a comprehensive enquiry, the book marks a valuable new contribution. .

Abstract

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.

Abstract

In light of the handover from the European Central Bank President Mario Draghi to Christine Lagarde in November 2019, this book provides an in-depth analysis of the events which unfolded since the euro area sovereign debt crisis in 2010 up until today. The book focuses on the far-reaching implications of the last decade, shedding light on a wide spectrum of political, economic and financial aspects of the European poly-crises and how monetary policy reacted to these challenges. The book places particular emphasis on the tensions that the supranational central bank was subject to during this period, and on their outcomes in terms of the policies, their legitimacy, and their public reception. As such, this book will be relevant not only to understand the political implications of the past crisis but also, and foremost, in understanding "what is next".

Abstract

The book examines the economic crisis in the European Union and its consequences for European integration and the member states. Discussing the provisions introduced by the Treaty of Lisbon, from the effects of macroeconomic monitoring to the restraints produced by the Fiscal Compact, it offers an analysis of the European Union’s current situation and the effects of the measures adopted to manage the crisis, also making reference to how Europe is perceived by its citizens. Moreover, the chapters offer thoughts on the European integration process, in particular the effects that the policies adopted to tackle the crisis have had on the economic and financial sovereignty of the member states. This detailed examination of the situation of the EU between the Treaty of Lisbon and the Fiscal Compact is characterized by an original multidisciplinary approach that offers an articulate reflection on the criticalities that affect the actions of both European and national institutions.

Abstract

Der Brexit bildet eine historische Zäsur, dessen Wurzeln siebzig Jahre zurückreichen. Seine Folgen werden lange nachwirken. Die Entscheidung Englands für den Brexit hat die dort schwelende EU-Debatte nicht gelöscht, sondern das Land unversöhnlicher gespalten als je zuvor. Die angeblichen Vorteile des Brexit bleiben vage, seine ökonomischen Probleme sind hingegen konkret. Die EU ihrerseits steht vor einer existentiellen Krise. Der Autor zeigt eingängig auf, wie es zum Volksentscheid für den Brexit kommen konnte und wie das Ergebnis zu bewerten ist. Welche Ansätze verfolgt Theresa May mit ihrem Kabinett, um das Votum der Wähler umzusetzen? Welche Zukunftsperspektiven ergeben sich daraus für das Vereinigte Königreich? Welche Folgen könnte dessen Ausscheiden für die EU insgesamt, insbesondere aber für Deutschland haben? Das Buch gibt Antworten auf diese Fragen und begreift den Brexit erstmals als historisches Ereignis. Es beruht auf wissenschaftlicher Forschung sowie auf umfangreichen Recherchen und persönlichen Interviews. Niemand, der sich für den Brexit und seine Folgen interessiert, kommt an diesem Buch vorbei! Über den Autor Rudolf G. Adam war fast vierzig Jahre als deutscher Diplomat u. a. in Singapur, Peking und Moskau tätig. Zudem war er Redenschreiber für Bundespräsident von Weizsäcker, Vizepräsident des BNDs sowie Präsident der Bundesakademie für Sicherheitspolitik. Zuletzt leitete er als Chargé d’Affairs die Botschaft in London. Rudolf Adam kennt Großbritannien seit nahezu 60 Jahren. Er ist Autor, Journalist und Dozent in München. .

Abstract

The global rise of neoliberalism since the 1970s is widely seen as a dynamic originating in the United States and the United Kingdom, and only belatedly and partially repeated by Germany. From this Anglocentric perspective, Germany's emergence at the forefront of neoliberal reforms in the Eurozone is perplexing, and tends to be attributed to the same forces conventionally associated with the Anglo-American pioneers. This book challenges this ruling narrative. It recasts the genesis of neoliberalism as a process driven by a plenitude of actors, ideas, and interests. And it lays bare the pragmatic reasoning and counterintuitive choices of German crisis managers obscured by this master story.

Abstract

This book explores the diverse challenges facing the EU and in particular examines the impediments to financial stability and sustainable growth and how these can be overcome. Among the topics explored are the extent to which monetary union has favored real convergence, competitive imbalances in the eurozone, and the impacts of austerity measures. Potential solutions are closely scrutinized, highlighting the need for linked fiscal, monetary, credit, and investment choices. Opportunities for public and private investment in infrastructure, human capital, the environment, and innovation are emphasized, as is the role of fiscal stimulus targeting aggregate demand and output. Detailed attention is paid to the importance of coordination of macroeconomic policies and the scope for reforms in EMU design and EU governance. In this context, the proposals in the recent Five Presidents’ Report are assessed, along with other ideas regarding progressive steps aimed at closer economic, financial, and political union in the medium to long term. Readers will also find separate scrutiny of the Greek crisis and the effectiveness of the third economic adjustment programme. The book comprises a selection of contributions presented at the XXVIII Villa Mondragone International Economic Seminar. .

Abstract

This book examines the Eurozone crisis in light of theoretical and empirical evidence. The first half explores specific theoretical contributions within a framework of growth theory models to examine the two major pillars of the European construction, the European Central Bank and the Maastricht Treaty, and seeks to explain why they are theoretically wrong.  The second half presents results of counterfactual simulations using the Oxford Econometric model and estimates what the Eurozone has lost in terms of economic and social cost from 2002 to 2014 as a consequence of the super-evaluation of the Euro and the Maastricht Treaty parameters being mistakenly fixed and pursued. Finally, the author supports the urgent need to refund the European Union, up-dating The Maastricht Treaty and the ECB statute to build three concentric circles: the USE (United States of Europe), the EU (European Union), the EAFTDA (Europe/Africa Free Trade and Development Area).
