Regulating Europe
ISBN: 9780415142953 / Angielski / Twarda / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Thus the study is an examination of the emergence of the regulatory state as the successor of the Keynesian welfare state of the past. Contributions emphasize the parallelism of policy developments at the national and...

European integration facilitated Portugal's transformation from insularity and uncompetitiveness into a modernizing economy that is steadily, if unevenly, converging with its EU partners.
