Evolutionary Political Economy in Action (eBook, PDF)

A Cyprus Symposium
Redaktion: Hanappi, Hardy; Scholz-Wäckerle, Manuel; Katsikides, Savvas

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book consists of two parts. Part 1 provides a broad range of issues that show how flexible evolutionary political economy can handle acute policy problems in Europe: should Europe support the revived build-up of NATO forces on its Eastern border, or should it rather aim at economic cooperation with Russia? How can democracy for a whole continent be reasonably further developed, what is the role of economies of scope? Do the new protest movements against inequality provide alternatives? What could a vision for a unified, socioecological Europe look like? Part 2 takes a closer look at Cyprus and Greece where the problems of the financial crisis have been exacerbated by the 'solutions' imposed on them by the troika. In all of these essays, the authors demonstrate the unique insights which can be garnered from adopting an evolutionary political economy approach and consider the real solutions that such an approach points towards.
