Forms of fiscal governance in the Euro Area – An update
Despite the common Euro Area (EA) requirements, we find notable differences in the quality of fiscal governance among the 19 member states. Moreover, characteristics of the delegation approach, which have been largely ignored in the EA fiscal governance framework, remain important in various member states. Using a two‐way fixed effects panel data model for the EA countries during 2006–2018, we find that the delegation approach can be effective to…

Revisiting the European Social Model(s) Debate: Challenges and Prospects
Une des caractéristiques spécifiques du processus d’intégration politique et économique européen d’après-guerre est le débat au sujet de l’émergence d’un modèle social européen (MSE). Partisans et opposants se sont disputés sur la signification précise du concept d’EMS, s’il en existe une forme particulière et significative, et s’il confirme ou infirme – par une justification théorique – la trajectoire néolibérale actuelle de l’Union européenne. …
The Eurozone as a Flawed Currency Area
The European single currency system has come under unprecedented strain during the past three years and there is little reason to assume that this will diminish, in any significant way, in the near future. This article briefly explores the background to the current eurozone crisis before outlining a number of potential solutions. Specifically, we discuss how the credit crunch induced recession of 2008 triggered the problems within the eurozone re…
Beyond EU neoliberalisation: A progressive strategy for the British left
Over the past two decades, the left has increasingly embraced European integration as a bulwark to globalisation. However, the view that the EU provides the potential for realising a progressive social and economic policy is problematic, since its approach is antithetical to traditional democratic-socialist objectives. Thus, the left either has to redouble its efforts to realise a fundamental reform of the EU's institutions and policy framework, …
Alternative Relationships between Britain and the EU: New Ways Forward
Post-Keynesianism and a neo-liberal EMU: The Case for Economic Independence

Equitable Voting in the EU: Options for Change
The disagreement within the European Union (EU) concerning the system of qualified majority voting highlighted the inequalities within the present allocation of votes. With enlargement these inequalities are likely to intensify. We suggest that the EU should examine alternative methods for the allocation of Council votes. Two possible scenarios are allocation according to population size, and second, allocation based upon contributions to the EU …
The Maastricht Treaty's impact on the welfare state
A central theme of contemporary political and economic debate is the relationship between Britain and the European Union (EU). The most recent and controversial development has been. the evolution towards closer integration within the EU, culminating in the Maastricht Treaty signed in December 1991. This imposed a new dimension of EU control over a nation's economic and political independence. The key economic criteria for convergence towards eco…
The maastricht treaty: Exacerbating racism in Europe
Ethnic discrimination is widespread in the European Community [EC] and is particularly practised against visible minorities. It operates at national borders and with member states and ranges from racist immigration legislation, through institutionalized discrimination, to physical assaults and murders. The completion of the single internal market in January 1993 stressed financial and trade factors at the expense of human rights. This encouraged …
The Performance of British Agriculture and the Impact of the Common Agricultural Policy: An Historical Review
United Kingdom (UK) accession into the European Economic Community (EEC), which became a political likelihood in 1970 and an actuality in 1973, led to a major change in agricultural policy away from a deficiency payments system supporting farmers' incomes towards the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) method of assistance through farm prices above the market level. Such a basic alteration in government activity not only imposed well-known and thoro…
