Description

In this volume, the ongoing, dramatic economic and geopolitical changes in NAFTA and the European Union are examined. Gianaris pays particular attention to the potential for stronger economic cooperation between North America and Western Europe. This book deals with similarities in economic organizations and related fiscal and monetary policies as they affect trade and financial transactions between these regions, and provides a detailed examination of trade and investment relations, capital flows and currency realignments as well as transatlantic joint ventures. In addition, it deals with problems of privatization, employee participation, closer integration and the challenge of enlarging NAFTA to include other Latin American countries and the European Union to include Eastern Europe. Gianaris weaves together an historical framework with comparative studies of the nation-states of NAFTA and the European Union. He discusses structural changes and the main problems and developments in the relationships between NAFTA and the European Union as well as problems of mutual trade, investments and joint ventures. A useful book for students, scholars and investors with a broad range of interests in the American and European continents.

Most useful for general readers and business professionals and practitioners interested in emerging opportunities for foreign trade. Chapters listing joint ventures and cross-Atlantic investments may be particularly useful.-Choice
