Governing in Europe: Effective and Democratic?
Author: Fritz Wilhelm Scharpf
Governing in Europe explores strategies at the national level that could succeed in maintaining welfare state goals even under conditions of international economic competition. It also discusses the conditions under which European policy could play a protective and enabling role with regard to these national solutions. The author suggests that if these opportunities should be used, multi-level governance in Europe could indeed regain both effectiveness and legitimacy.

Development Microeconomics
Author: Pranab K Bardhan
Development Microeconomics is the first in a series of books which looks at the entire spectrum of development economics issues and combines the strengths of conventional developmental thought with the insights of contemporary mainstream economics. The main new conceptual tool used is the application of the theory of imperfect information and the effects this has on the behavior of economic agents. This book is designed specifically for graduate students.
