The vision of the European Union (EU) founding states, epitomized by the Schuman Declaration in 1950, was to tie their economies--including the reemerging West German economy-- so closely together that war would become impossible. Europe will not be made all at once, or according to a single plan. It will be built through concrete achievements which first create a de facto solidarity--Robert Schuman. In 1973, Denmark, Ireland, and the United Kingdom joined what was then referred to as the "European Community." The 1970s were also a decade of deep social and political transformations in Greece, Portugal, and Spain, where military regimes and dictatorships were overthrown. Inspired by the prosperity and stability of the European Community, these countries joined the European project within 10 years, strengthening their emerging democracies. The countries benefited enormously from free trade and common economic policies, in particular structural funds designed to foster convergence by funding infrastructure and investments in poorer regions. This book examines how these larger trends were experienced in individual member states throughout the Eastern European states. This book also scans the regional block of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), South East Europe (SEE), and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), and the macroeconomic dynamics of these states and the EU. 410 0$aEconomics collection.$x2163-7628 607 $aEurope, Eastern$xEconomic conditions$y1989- 610 $aCEE 610 $aCIS 610 $aEastern European Economies 610 $aEU 610 $aEuropean Union 610 $aEurozone 610 $aMaastricht Treaty 610 $aSchuman Declaration 610 $aSEE 610 $aWestern Europe 676 $a338.947 700 $aGoncalves$b Marcus.$0753608 702 $aSmith$b Erika Cornelius. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910814715803321 996 $aEastern European economies$94126738 997 $aUNINA
