当前位置：Wow! eBook商业与金融经济学 Handbook of Microcredit in Europe: Social Inclusion through Microenterprise Development (Research Handbooks in Business and Management series)
This timely Handbook offers a unique opportunity to consider the performance and national context of microcredit initiatives within the European Union.
Drawing together authors from a multi-disciplinary background and including complementary perspectives and interpretative analysis, this original Handbook examines which strategies and policies may affect how a particular country initiative fights against social and financial exclusion or fosters entrepreneurial behaviour with the use of microcredit. It explores the development of an Eastern/Western Europe practical divide in institutional practices and business models, whilst analysing the state of European microcredit and how the continent is adopting and adapting this developing world model for economic development.
This book will be an influential tool helping government and policymakers to target a new set of microcredit initiatives and programmes. It will also be an invaluable read for students and academics in economics, business, development issues and political science.
Editorial Reviews
Review
‘Microcredit in Europe has had an uncomfortable birth, often not able to emulate the successes of the developing world either in scaling-up or in attacking poverty. But things are looking up, across much of the continent; this Handbook explains how. It will be an extremely valuable asset to practitioners and researchers seeking to make microcredit into an effective instrument of social policy.’ — Paul Mosley, University of Sheffield, UK
