A two‐speed Europe: a suitable case for modelling?
Abstract
Discusses the idea of a two‐speed Europe in the light of the recent open letter from the governing parties in Germany. This letter raised the ideal of a two‐speed Europe from a de facto configuration of the European economies to an explicit strategy for European integration. Puts forward the view of many commentators that several factors have made some kind of a two‐speed arrangement inevitable and desirable. Outlines the costs and benefits of a two‐speed Europe. Attempts to provide a model based on research that would allow these questions to be analysed in full. Concludes that if an adequate model is to be achieved, more academic resources are required.
