Economic Integration and Disintegration in Europe: 2nd edition of Economic Integration and Growth in Europe, with additional chapters on Brexit and the Economics of Disintegration

In reviewing my previously published work on economic integration in Europe, I determined that the current socioeconomic climate brought up many new disintegration issues. As such, it was time for a new volume, incorporating the old material but taking into account new issues—factors like Brexit and the rise of Donald Trump. This book provides a thorough and thoughtful analysis of the current political and economic climate and examines what might happen to the European economy in the coming months and years.
