Books by Willem (Erasmus School of Economics Molle

Inconsistent policies are less effective than they ought to be. EU uses mainly the regulatory method. The effectiveness of this method has come into question. So alternative methods are favoured. One is the financial method and other is coordination. This book sets out to contribute to a solution by following two approaches.

Integrating theoretical and practical research, this work covers economic, social and territorial issues aspects of EU intervention. It provides a systematic view of the various stages of the policy cycle, looking at: the evolution of the problems; the design of the policy system; the implementation in practice; and the evaluation of effects.
