In order to remain updated on global developments and in order not to be taken by surprise by crises such as high oil prices or the financial crisis in the USA – which would all have been foreseeable if one had closely followed the global economic development – it is now possible to obtain the necessary overview reading the “Europe’s World” magazine containing articles by experts from all around Europe.
Since October 2005 this independent political magazine has been published three times a year in English and French language and filled with life by about 50 European think tanks and business institutes including the Institute of the German Economy (IW) in Cologne. The latest issue comprises about 220 pages and plenty of interesting articles including the following on economic issues:
