Summary
Published in co-operation with the Bertelsmann Foundation The European Republic offers reflections on the political economy of a future European constitution. It explores in particular the elusive economic and monetary policy mix that is called for within the developing framework of European integration. It explores issues of fiscal federalism and subsidiarity, contrasting voluntary policy co-ordination with the case for European government. It also balances the demands of the Stability and Growth Pact with the embryonic consensual foundations of a European welfare function.
