This volume, Globalization, Integration and Transition, originates from the 8th International Network for Economic Research (INFER) workshop on International Economics held at the Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, Babe-Bolyai University of Cluj-Napoca, Romania, on 17-18 October 2008. This workshop brought together researchers and policy makers to discuss the challenges of the European integration, especially for the emergent countries and of the globalisation. Fourteen papers are published in this volume and they form two themes: Globalization, Integration and Development and Facing Globalisation, Integration and Transition: Emergent countries with a focus upon the Romanian Economy. This collection of papers aims to stimulate further debate on these issues and, in doing so, will help to broaden the exchange of ideas among economists in both academia and business.

The Varieties of Capitalisms (VOC) approach focuses on institutional complementarities. These complementarities explain how and why different types of capitalist systems are able to co-exist and complement each other. This volume provides some new perspectives on the VOC approach by including countries and actors which so far have not been in the focus of attention. Different methodologies are used to analyze topics which have generally been neglected previously. The book includes - inter alia - contributions on Indian multinationals, the labour market in Spain, regional labour markets in Slovakia, a historical analysis of institutional development in New Zealand and the Netherlands, as well as on educational systems. As the contributions are made by economists, political scientists, historians and sociologists, they are meant for an interdisciplinary audience. Hence, readers from these disciplines with an interest in policy analysis will find the book most useful.

High-tech and traditional trade, baroque noble residences and modern architecture, a historic city centre and progressive urban development are not opposites in Münster, but merely features of a lively city more than half of whose inhabitants are younger than 30 years of age. As the so-called "desktop" of Westphalia, Münster is an important location for the coordination of business, administration, science, culture and the social life of the region.
