Books by Willem 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.

Intended for students of the economics of the EU as well as for those with an interest in the European Union. This work includes material on: the performance of the euro; the EU experience as a guide for the economic integration of other regions and for the eventual possibility of world economic governance; and more.

Examining global economic institutions, this book presents history of globalization and explains how global public goods should be defined and how global economic institutions work. It also looks at the effect that major organizations - including the WTO, IMF and UNEP - have on areas such as finance, the environment and transport.
