This volume explains why economic and social regulation is rapidly becoming the new frontier of public policy and public administration in Europe, both at the national and EU levels.

Contributions emphasize the parallelism of policy developments at the national and...

Majone assesses the future of Europe after the new Constitutional Treaty, before controversially concluding that the EU has failed as a would-be federation, but has a chance of becoming an effective confederation of sovereign states.
