Behind the Myth of European Union
Propects for Cohesion
Introduction
The vision of the original architects of the European Community was to create a Europe of economic prosperity and social harmony.
Economic integration has come ever closer, but sustained growth and a reduction in social disparities seem as far away as ever.
Analysis
This book examines the prospects for real cohesion in Europe and finds that, far from promoting it, many of the Community's current policies are divisive.
The neo-liberal philosophy at the moment is producing policies which favour relatively wealthy regions and major corporations at the expense of less favoured regions and peoples.
