The Development of the Portuguese Economy: A Case of Europeanization Summary
| David Corkhill analyses the Europeanization of the Portuguese economy in the context of closer European integration, globalization and the struggle to achieve international competitiveness. Portugal, he argues, is an interesting case of the latecomer modernizer that latches on to Europe as the vehicle for its economic transformation. European integration facilitated Portugal's transformation from insularity and uncompetitiveness into a modernizing economy that is steady, if unevenly, converging with its EU partners. Filling a major gap in English language literature on the economy of this EU member state, The Development of the Portuguese Economy examines the development of Portugal's small, open economy and places its economic trajectory within the Southern European ''Cohesion Group'' (Spain, Greece, Ireland and Portugal) context. Corkhill reveals how this previously weak economy has experienced growth, convergence, structural change and international competition. The book contains studies of public policy initiatives, case studies to highlight uneven sectoral responses and assesses the pitfalls Portugal may face as part of Europe. It is a unique, up-to-date review of the contemporary situation, written for economists, economic historians and those studying Europe. |
