Comprises a group of essays, some of which were originally presented at the Sixth European Association of Development Research and Training Institutes' (EADI) Conference held in Oslo in June 1990.

Since the Single Europe Act (1986), attention has largely focused on the creation of a single European market and the much hyped date 1992'. This book examines what is actually entailed by the single market and looks at the other issues and implications of the Single Europe Act. It falls into four parts and considers the economic, fiscal, social and political dimensions of the processes of European unification.

First published in 2004. This book studies the history of the single, or internal, market of the European Union since its beginnings after the Second World War until the end of 2000. The perspective is pluridisciplinary and incorporates several dimensions: historical, political, economic; legal and sociological.
