Abstract

Europe ‒ once a leader in industrial development and innovation ‒ has lost its competitiveness. Which place will it take in a new world order? Climate protection and the digital transformation will also influence the next era of prosperity. The EU and its member states now want to build a robust, secure, resilient, and sustainable economy. Meanwhile, the US, China, and some emerging economies have overtaken the EU in many international rankings. 

In this issue of EconPol Forum, our authors take a critical look at the main economic and political causes of the EU’s declining competitiveness and its consequences for prosperity. And they also shed light on the bigger challenges that lie ahead. Our authors explore how future economic policy at the level of the EU and its member states should respond to increasing global competition.
