From Forecasts to Quantitative Foresights: Territorial Scenarios for an Enlarged Europe

Roberta Capello and Roberto Camagni

A chapter in Modelling Regional Scenarios for the Enlarged Europe, 2008, pp 1-10 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Over the last decade, Europe has been faced by drastic economic, institutional and social changes that place the future of its territory under severe stress. From an institutional point of view, the enlargement of the European Union, on the one hand, and the European Monetary Union on the other, generate new challenges to the European economy. In turn, the globalisation of the economy and the competition raised by emerging and dynamic areas (such as Brazil, Russia, India and China) are new sources of threat which influence future European growth opportunities and income distribution among European regions. Moreover, deep social changes and tendencies are today at work. They encompass the ageing of the population in all European countries, and a growing number of immigrants from lagging to richer areas of Europe and from poor countries outside Europe; phenomena which generate further challenges.
