Book Description
Western Europe may be heading for trouble, trouble that can extend to the United States, for which Western Europe remains the most important economic, political, and security partner. What the United States needs in Western Europe is, at best, a strong and equal partner and ally; at worst, a region no less stable than it is now. What it is likely to get is, at best, a Western Europe like the current one, with hope for the long-run future; at worst, increasing political as well as economic instability. The sources of the trouble lie in the West European political economy. The imposition of the highly restrictive Maastricht fiscal and monetary criteria for membership in the European Monetary Union (EMU) on an economy already twisted out of shape by East German reconstruction has brought about high unemployment and other harsh realities that have proven politically unacceptable in France and may well do so in Germany. If Maastricht's rigid macro-economic constraints are relaxed if EMU balances its stress on inflation control and fiscal rectitude with equal emphasis on employment and growth then rising unemployment may be reversed in the short run, and conditions can be set for long-run improvement. If not, and if unemployment remains near or above 12 percent, then the worst is yet to come.

Book Description
The present work deals not only with the well-organized right extremism in modern Europe as well as with its function in proper political parties, but equally includes two additional, broader approaches: the militant branches and subcultures that exist, including some paramilitary phenomena in Eastern Europe; and the broad realm of their political ideas and cultural trends and the influence they exert on European political culture.

Book Description
Economics tends to teach that developed countries have good institutions while developing countries do not, and that this is the factor that constrains the latter's growth. However, the picture is far messier than this explanation suggests. Building on the varieties of capitalism framework, this book brings together the tools of institutional economics with historical analyses of institutional evolution of different kinds of property rights and legal systems, protected by different kinds of state, giving rise to distinct corporate governance structures. It constructs institutional development histories across leading liberal capitalisms in Britain and the United States, compared with continental capitalisms in France and Germany, and contemporary transitional capitalisms in China and Tanzania. This volume is innovative in combining both historical and economic insights, and in combining developed country with developing country institutional emergence, dispelling the prevailing sense of complacency about the inevitability of the path of institutional development for the developed areas of the world and the paths that developing countries are likely to follow. This volume will be of great importance to those who study international economics, development economics and international business.
