Institutional dynamics in the EC

Abstract

The evolving economic order in Europe will be shaped by a combination of ex ante political harmonization and ex post harmonization as a result of institutional competition. In view of Porter's theory, emphasis has to be put on the latter. Moreover, a flexible view of European unification is needed. In this Porterian world, national governments will be forced to redefine their role and to shift their activities away from redistributive to allocational market-supporting activities.
