This book explores economic developments across Europe in relation to
its apparent segmentation, as disparities widen between core and
periphery countries. In contrast to previous literature, the scope of
analysis is extended to Europe as a continent rather than confining it
solely to the European Union, thereby providing the reader with greater
insight into the core/periphery nexus. The authors commence with a
critical appraisal of economic thinking in relation to regional trade
agreements and monetary integration. In relation to a number of EU
economies, the book addresses issues of a liquidity trap, deflation, and
twin deficits, together with the interconnection between exchange rates
and current account balances. Importantly, they extend the discussion
of segmentation through a series of focused case studies on Russia,
Brexit and emergence of the mega-regionals.
