European Responses to Globalization takes an interesting look at how the European Union has been affected and how it affects globalization. Bringing together a noted group of scholars to look at a wide range of issues this newer installment of the Contemporary Studies in Economic and Financial Analysis volume sheds new light on the questions of globalization. The book looks at the ways in which the European Union has tried to manage globalization through public policy and trade strategy and one of the chapters takes a very close look at the various trade rounds of GATT and WTO to look at European responses to economic liberalization. The book clearly shows that the EU has managed to bring corporations into its fold and provide a competitive environment for their services to be distributed. This volume also looks at European culture and the idea of "one Europe" at odds with the individuality each country has always enjoyed. It also looks at territorial issues mostly related to watery spaces that have caused conflict and consternation in EU discussions. If you are looking for a wide ranging analysis of what happened to the European Union as a result of globalization this is a great book to start with and is very well done.
