European integration is Globalisation – writ small and large. Small, though not that small, given its regional dimension. Large, since it allows for a significantly deeper integration and embedding of markets. Harald Sander, in most accessible ways, provides his readers with the data and the tools to understand what is happening around them. A most impressive achievement!
