  • Beware the strong euro
    Bulletin article by Alasdair Murray, 01 June 2000

    The claim may seem perverse, when the euro has barely crawled off its record lows, but there is a good case for saying that America rather than Euroland faces a looming currency crisis.
  • Federalism's last gasp
    Bulletin article by Ben Hall, 01 June 2000

    The prospect of a two-tier Europe, with Britain outside the core, causes alarm in Downing Street. Joschka Fischer's vision of a European federation - with a group of more ambitious states forming its vanguard - is the latest such proposition, albeit one for the long-term. But does Tony Blair have much to fear?
  • A new economic model
    Bulletin article by Alasdair Murray, 03 April 2000

  • The spectre of tax harmonisation
    Report by Kitty Ussher, 04 February 2000

    Europe's citizens, generally speaking, do not want their taxes set by Brussels. Taxation and representation still go hand in hand.

  • Europe's new economy
    Bulletin article by Charles Leadbeater, Kitty Ussher, 01 December 1999

    Europe needs a new economic story. Its ability to compete in the knowledge-driven economy depends on how well it can translate science, technology and know-how into jobs, growth and economic success.
  • Europe's new economy
    Report by Charles Leadbeater, 05 November 1999

    Europe needs a new economic story because it faces a new economic challenge. The challenge is to transform European science and technology, knowledge and creativity, into jobs, growth and economic success.
  • The case for "Mr Euroland"
    Bulletin article by Steven Everts, 01 October 1999

    Most discussions about the euro focus on what it means for the politics and the economy of the EU. The actual and potential external impact of EMU is often ignored.
