This book offers a fascinating exploration into the evolution of the Portuguese economy over the course of eight centuries, from the foundation of the kingdom in 1143, when political boundaries began to take shape in the midst of the Christian Reconquista of the Iberian Peninsula, and the formation of an empire, to the integration of the nation into the European Communities and the Economic and Monetary Union. Through six chapters, the authors provide a vibrant history of Portugal's past with a focus ranging from the medieval economy and the age of globalization, to war and recovery, the Atlantic economy, the rise of liberalism and patterns of convergence. The book provides a unique long-term perspective of change in a southern European country and its empire, which responds to the fundamental broader questions about when, how and why economies expand, stagnate or contract.

3e eeuw voor Christus. 70.000 manschappen en meer dan 40 olifanten trekken vanuit Carthago dwars door Spanje, Gallië en de Alpen naar Italië. Het leger wordt aangevoerd door 1 man: Hannibal Barkas. Gedreven door een levenslange haat tegenover Rome en haar inwoners en met maar 1 doel voor ogen: de macht grijpen over het Middellandse zeegebied. De geschiedenis van Hannibal en Carthago inspireerde tal van historici. Nooit echter werd het verhaal vanuit het standpunt van Hannibal zelf verteld. In deze roman laat veelvuldig bekroond auteur Michael De Cock de Carthager eindelijk zelf aan het woord. Hannibal is een overrompelend relaas van een epische tocht door Europa en door de tijd. Michael De Cock is auteur en directeur van theater ’t ARSENAAL. Hij bewerkte Griekse mythen tot moderne hedendaagse vertellingen voor jong en oud. Zo verscheen: De lange weg naar huis, Vliegen tot de hemel, dat bekroond werd met een Zilveren Griffel en Diep in het woud. De drie kleine klassiekers zijn net als Hannibal voorzien van prachtige beelden van Gerda Dendooven.

Regions in the EU’s Eastern and Southern peripheries tend to perform badly across many rankings from economic development, to quality of government, social justice and innovation potential, despite the fact that the vast majority of EU structural funding has been spent in these countries. However, these countries followed different development trajectories and reacted differently to the economic crisis. Some of them still struggle, others thrive, others, after years of structural transformation, are stuck in a middle-income trap. Successes and failures as a result of EU cohesion implementation are a valuable source of feedback for future plans. Southern part of the EU, and Central and Eastern Europe provide an excellent opportunity to evaluate them, The whole implementation exercise is sometimes challenging to accomplish, as both the public and private sectors have low absorption capacity. In contrast, positive experiences also emerged. Regions in Central and Eastern European countries witnessed improvements in the form of change in GDP per capita, benchmarked against the EU average during the years 2008-2015, while Southern Europe improved similarly between 2000-2008. In this volume, the authors cover a variety of aforementioned problems and experiences of either all member states, with special attention to peripheral countries, or to sectoral or regional problems in selected countries. The book begins with an overview of the issues of economic convergence and quality of life in all member states. It also addresses political aspects of EU cohesion policy, including involvement of civil society into this public policy, as well as relationships between cohesion policy support and EU identification. The final section discusses an important novelty in the framework of EU cohesion policy, namely the JESSICA initiative, that is, an instrument offering repayable and recyclable funding targeted at economically-viable and sustainable urban development projects.
