The book addresses the issue of investment in Europe, adopting a European economic policy approach. In the first part, a review of investment policy in Europe, as well as a macroeconomic theoretical perspective, are provided to better appreciate recent developments within a new investment narrative. By analyzing the context in which investment support policies have taken place at European level since the origins of what is now the EU, through the 2008 financial crisis, and considering the effects of the current pandemic crisis, the book proposes possible solutions based on internal and external investment plans for a new European economic model. In particular, three aspects are examined. First, the implication of the green transition on the social dimension; second, the opportunity to strengthen the partnership with Africa; third, how a large-scale investment plan could be financed.
