Description: Climate change and environmental policy in general was one of the key issues discussed at the historic G8 summit in Gleneagles in the summer of 2005. This book draws together a team of political economists and environmentalists to assess the big picture and eschews "number-crunching" cost-benefit analysis to develop a more holistic approach, designed to take into account the point of view of all people and not just a select few.
Description: This book is the second in an annual series in which top economists provide a concise and accessible summary of policy development, GATT country reviews and special issues on international trade over the past year. Over a number of years the series will create a valuable reference resource, acting as a vehicle for stimulating interest in current trade policy issues both at the regional leval and at the global level.
Description: Since its last Trade Policy Review in 1997, the EU has made significant progress towards the further consolidation of the Internal Market with the landmark introduction of a common currency and the assoiated Stability and Growth Pact setting bounds on the fiscal policies of the Member States.
