Title: Singular Europe
Description: The implementation of Program 1992 has invigorated Europe - the Old World - with the strength and vitality of youth. In Singular Europe, leading international experts in economics, political science, business, and law discuss the impact of Program 1992 upon the European and world economies. Major themes addressed include the behavior of business enterprises and the structure of economically meaningful markets, the potential of Europe to act as a protectionist "fortress," and the steps yet to be taken along the path to completion of the internal market. Singular Europe will be of special interest to scholars of the European economy and market. It will also be useful to managers who are concerned about the implications of Program 1992 for their firms and to government officials responsible for relations with the "new" European community.
