The British Growth Crisis

Since 2007 the question of growth has plagued the British economy. Though, at the time of writing in the early summer of 2014, growth has returned, a pervasive anxiety about the solidity, stability and sustain- ability of that growth persists, even in the most hallowed of elite polit- ical circles. Thus, even the recently appointed Governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney, is concerned that…

France and the Politics of European Economic and Monetary Union

France has been widely acknowledged as the principal driving force behind European economic and monetary union (EMU). Every French president from Georges Pompidou onwards has placed the creation of EMU at the centre of France’s European policy. President François Mitterrand finally clinched the deal when, in December 1991, he secured German Chancellor Helmut Kohl’s agreement at the Maas…

EU ENERGY LAW AND POLICY

I ended up working on European and international energy law issues more or less by coincidence. Having embarked on a career in general EU law, I worked on the first merchant infrastructure case under the (then) new EU regulatory frameworks for electricity and gas.

The EU and The Eurozone Crisis

The European Union (EU) is facing a fundamental crisis, which especially affects the countries that take part in the single currency, the euro.

The question may be asked, why is it important to discuss good govern- ance as a prerequisite for sustainable and environmentally friendly development? The answer to the above question lies in the historical experience of failure to achieve economic growth by many countries of Africa, Asia and Latin America in the past several decades. Since the end of World War II, the economic literature o…

Making Capitalism Fit for Society

European social democracy needs to be shaken out of the defensive posture to which it has shrunk for several years now. It should not be in this position at all.

Asignificant analytical literature began to develop in the early 1970s to address a succession of macroeconomic woes that afflicted developing countries.
