Competitiveness, Subsidiarity and Industrial Policy

What does competitiveness mean? In recent years, discussion of economic policy has become dominated by the notion of competitiveness. In this volume a group of leading economists explore the issue through cross-country comparisons and by means of single country case studies. They also examine:

* the relationship between competitiveness and community objectives

* the co-existence of diversity, subsidiarity and EU industrial policy

* the impact of European enlargement and further integration
