About this book
The relentless forces of global competition and regional liberalisation have precipitated a redefinition of industrial policies within the European Union. This book advances a clear and comprehensive account of the resultant European industrial competitiveness policy framework and its ten constituent elements. It also illustrates how individual instruments of this policy set shape the European business environment and affect the competitiveness of firms.
