Abstract
This paper discusses the formation of a union between many of the European nations, which facilitated trade between themselves and with other larger countries throughout the world. It describes the way this changed the face of the European economy. The paper describes the viewpoints of Jean Monnet and Georges Perec on this economic revolution.
From the Paper
"Monnet, speaking to the members of the Common Assembly and members of the Consultative Assembly, declared that the Common Assembly of European nations were working cohesively as one country, a country of 150 million consumers of coal and steel, a number that equaled the population of the United States of America. They had enacted treaties abolishing customs duties and quota restrictions between themselves and had set up the first Common Market. They had been recognized as a new force by Great Britain and the United States.
Monnet quoted President Eisenhower as saying "the uniting of Europe is a necessity for the prosperity of Europeans and for the peace of the whole world." (Monnet 118) He urged all European nations to join. He claimed that they are not just producers of goods, but that they have a responsibility to set up a European Community that is comprehensive and includes Great Britain."

From the Paper
"The use of the Euro dollar will not only increase profits and market shares of businesses but also the costs associated with exchange-rate fluctuations. Instead of having to deal with 11 separate currencies, U.S. companies will only have to deal with one. One currency will also increase the efficiency of the European economy as a whole. The use of the Euro is expected to add a half percent to the growth rate of the European economy, which could make investing in Europe even more desirable for U.S. companies."

Each successive level involves a greater degree of integration. At the lowest level of integration, the free-trade area, tariffs are eliminated on the ... "

Abstract
This paper discusses the European Union (EU). The paper looks at the EU's existence for over a decade, as well as its single currency, which has been in use for over five full years. The paper discusses some of the many operational issues of the EU, but suggests that it has largely been a success at managing both its monetary and fiscal policy while at the same time reaching a consensus on trade and economic concerns. ."
From the Paper
"The European Union (EU) has captured the imagination of the world with its relative success at creating a viable and effective union out of formerly competitive countries who, each, sought some sort of dominance over the continent. The EU's success at executing and implementing its single currency, the Euro, is a model advocate for all regions considering a currency block as an economic solution to global competitiveness. In fact, the EU's single currency, the Euro, is so strong that many analysts expect that, "The international role of the euro will probably equal (or exceed) that of the dollar by 2014 and Euroland, which will probably include all members by then, will insist on a commensurate voice in international monetary decision-making" (Europe par.8)."

From the Paper
"During the late 1990s, the term, "New Economy," began appearing in articles and news reports as analysts sought to describe transactions that were largely Internet-based, or at least transactions which did not require consumers entering a brick and mortar store. Articles were written about the young entrepreneurs who were rewriting business rules, about companies where Casual Friday evolved into Casual Everyday, and how the New Economy would radically change the entire business landscape. As 2000 draws to a close, however, it is becoming obvious that the Old Economy is not going to go away entirely. Many of the touted "dot com" companies have gone bankrupt as they were unable to produce that most traditional product of the Old Economy: profit. New Economy companies are finding that they must integrate Old Economy ..."

Abstract
This paper explores the emergence of the so-called new economy - namely the IT boom and dot.com phenomenon seen in recent history. First, the paper explains what exactly defined this new economy and why it differed from the old, more stable and long-term economy. The paper then explores how this new economy effected global markets, individual business strategies and most importantly how it merged to work alongside the old economy, which continued to play a major role.
Contents:
Introduction
Definition of the New Economy
The New Economy and the World Economy
The New Economy and Business Strategy
Bringing the New Economy and the Old Economy Together
Changes Associated with E-Commerce
Outlook
Conclusion
From the Paper
"For some analysts, the term, "New Economy," refers to the plethora of "dot com" companies which have come into existence in just the past few years, created new millionaires from young entrepreneurs, and changed retailing as consumers comparison shop and browse from their homes and offices 24 hours a day, seven days a week. However, the ramifications of the New Economy move far beyond just using the Internet to reach catalog customers. Wilfred Corrigan, an executive in the semiconductor industry, notes that a primary difference between the Old Economy and the New Economy is the primary commodity which powers the two."

Abstract
This paper elaborates a model showing that outsourcing can benefit a country through higher productivity growth and increased employment. Part I discusses the problems regarding the precise definition of outsourcing and presents a case for using the definition adopted in this paper. Part II provides an overview of literature presenting both theoretical and empirical data related to the subject. Part III of this paper creates a model of the economy that engages in outsourcing with all theoretical assumptions and conclusions stemming from it. Part IV bases on this theoretical framework to determine which groups are expected to gain, which groups are expected to lose, and what needs to be done to turn losers into gainers. Part V is a case study of outsourcing from the European Union as a test of the paper's theoretical framework. The paper examines whether the implications of the model hold true in the case of the European Union and sees if the model can explain why certain implications do not hold in real life. Finally, in Part VI the paper gives a brief discussion on economic restructuring policies that are to be adopted in the European Union in order for it to maximize its gains from outsourcing.
From the Paper
"Perhaps the main reason for the broadness of the definition of outsourcing is that the concept had changed over time. Up to the early eighties, and dating back to the nineteenth century, outsourcing has been understood as a firm's purchase of intermediate inputs from outside, whether domestically or abroad. Such, the American Heritage Dictionary defines it as "The procuring of services or products ... from an outside supplier ... in order to cut costs." In such a case, a car manufacturing company in the U.S. that purchases car tires from another firm is said to outsource its tire production. However, with the development of foreign trade, economists became to refer more and more often to "an outside supplier" as the one outside the country, speaking of outsourcing as specifically purchasing intermediate inputs from abroad."

Abstract
This paper examines the economic impact that World War II had on Europe. It provides a brief history of the lead-up to the war and the cost of the war in terms of human casualty and then analyzes why World War II had such a devastating effect on the European economy. Finally, the paper discusses the rapid growth of the post-War golden age in Europe and the factors that contributed to it.
From the Paper
"The economy of Europe lagged far behind the United States after World War II and into the 50s (Eichengreen 2007). Its gross domestic product level was barely half American levels per person. The mass production methods in the US, which were introduced in the first half of the 20th century were just arriving in Europe at this time. Typical automobiles and modern household appliances in the US were still few and exceptional in Europe. Even 50 years later, Western Europe was still far from the US in terms of per capita GDP. But institutions of European integration wiped this difference in the quality of life so marked 50 years ago. They locked peaceful Germany into Europe so as to unleash its huge industrial might. It was something, which France and other European countries would not have allowed. These institutions created the Common Market, which in turn induced the huge expansion of trade and increased efficiency. Through the Single Market Program set up in 1986, these European institutions created a continental economy, which can now support global champion firms at a scale and a scope that could compete internationally. And with the introduction of the Euro, the inflation problem, which plagued Europe in most of the 20th century, disappeared (Eichengreen)."

"As Americans we want to believe that our country was conceived in liberty, however, reality is that from almost the beginning America was greatly dependent on forced labor. By the early eighteenth century slavery was legal throughout America and was the primary source of labor in the South. Many of our nation?s founding fathers were slaveholders. Thomas Jefferson, who wrote the Declaration of Independence, and Patrick Henry, who is famous for saying, ?Give me liberty or give me death!? were slave owners. Slavery was such a vital force eight of our first twelve presidents even owned slaves. "

Abstract
The accession to the throne of sultan Qaboos ibn Said inn 1970 marked the beginning of considerable political and economic changes in Oman. Realizing the importance of internal and local stability, the sultanate started coming out of its political isolation, forming alliances in the Middle East and maintaining good diplomatic relations with the western powers. Overall, sultan Qaboos supported a non-aligned foreign policy, determined by what is of best interest to the country. Alongside, the regime gradually modernized the country in an effort to develop the economy and attract foreign investment. Although infrastructural improvements, social changes, and economic reforms were progressively undertaken, the country still faces the challenges of its overdependence on oil and shortage of Omani labor force. As Omani oil reserves are depleting, the transition from rentier to a more diversified economy is imperative to the future economic growth of the sultanate. This paper explores the economy of Oman during the period of 1980-2004 and how it was affected by the regime's internal reforms, its involvement in the resolution of the local conflicts and its diplomatic ties with the U.S.
Paper Outline:
Introduction
Oman and the Gulf Cooperation Council
Gulf War: Consequences
Iran-Iraq War and its Impact on Omani Economy and Political Stability
Omani Economy: Problems and Challenges
Social Reforms
Foreign Investment
U.S.- Omani Relations
Military Expenditure
Conclusion
Bibliography
From the Paper
"The signing of the Facility Access Agreement secured the positions of the regime, provided American economic support and expertise, and was crucial to establishing peace during the Gulf War. Also, Omani military alliance with the U.S. allowed the sultanate to divert some of the military spending and undertake more social reforms. Economically, the sultan introduced crucial reforms to make Oman an attractive investment destination. However, in order to fully exploit the foreign investment opportunities, the sultanate should fight the high level of corruption and introduce more transparency in the processes of privatization and business attraction."

"What is interesting about this certain period in the Japanese economy is the fact that the state used to trade the rice even before it was harvested. They would acquire several goods and products from international commerce partners, and promise to pay the counter value in rice once it was harvested. Today, we refer to these specific business making techniques as futures trade contracts."
"In the nineteenth century, the ruling power of Japan became the Tokugwana government. For the first time in the Japanese political economic history, the Tokugwana government officially liberalized trade relationships. Not only that, but the leading power also "first opened the country to Western commerce and influence." In this order of ideas, the Japanese government encouraged and supported young students to continue and specialize their studies abroad and, for those remaining in the country, brought Western professors to teach them the secrets of mathematics, physics, logistics and economics."

Abstract
In this article, the writer looks at the north westernmost country in South America, Colombia. The writer notes that Colombia is the second most populated South American country next to Brazil and the majority of the population lives in the mountainous cities around the capital of Bogota. The writer points out that with this intense congregation of people in one area, the economy of Colombia is poor and unstable. This paper attempts to explain why the economy has fluctuated during the last thirty years and gives examples of life in Colombia as a result of an ever-changing economy.
From the Paper
"In 1999, Colombia suffered a recession as a result of low world oil prices, reduced export demand, and increased guerilla violence throughout the country. This caused an increase in unemployment, increased drug usage and sales, and devaluation of the Colombian peso. In 1999 at the time of the recession approximately 17.7% of the Colombia people were living at or below the national poverty line."
"As a result of the 1999 Colombian recession, unemployment quickly rose. There were more people in Colombia than jobs. Many companies closed because they could not afford to pay their employees. In the year 2000, the unemployment rate in Colombia reached 20%. This rate did not stay at 20% for long because of the instability in the Colombian economy, by 2006 the unemployment rate had improved and was at 13% which also decreased poverty and gained confidence among the people in foreign and domestic affairs."
