Today, China has become one of the major exporters of capital in Europe. It is expected that China's liberal policy and growth model will soon make China a major provider of cross-border investment. This process is expected to have significant impact on host European countries of Chinese investment. Europe needs to change its policies and position itself strategically to not only reap the benefits of this massive influx of Chinese investment but also minimize potential risks that European countries face due to their historical linkages with China for trade and investment. The objective of this chapter is to review Chinese FDI in Europe to identify its impact on Europe's economy and suggest some measures for European economies to optimize the benefits of Chinese FDI for their national competitiveness and economic growth.

Southern European Countries

Abstract The financial crisis of 2007 revealed structural weaknesses in many European countries, particularly in Southern Europe. The goal of this article is to identify the existing economic situation in the four main Southern European countries: Greece, Italy, Portugal, and Spain (GIPS), and in Poland, conduct a comparative analysis of the development paths and competitiveness levels of these countries using statistical data as well as existing scientific literature, and finally to formulate suggestions for a new development path of Poland. The results of the analysis suggest that Poland's development is currently on a turning point, portraying many similarities to Southern European economies after their EU accession, as well as before the crisis. The authors come to a conclusion that unless Poland undertakes crucial reforms, particularly in the field of its innovation system, business environment, implementation of EU funds, and overall strategic long-term planning, it is inevitable that its economic growth will slow down, possibly falling into a middle-income trap. Poland might not avoid the same mistakes of GIPS, that failed to implement adequate reforms in times of economic growth, what today results in suffering from serious consequences. T is paper presents a unique view on the future economic development of Poland in relation to the paths already undertaken by Southern European economies.

Douglas Production Function

In our study, we empirically examine the influence of economic growth on environmental degradation in the developed European economies through the period of study beginning in 1985 to 2015. For the econometric methodology, we employ the Cobb-Douglas production function. From the tests of cointegration (Kao and Fisher tests), we corroborate the existence of a cointegration nexus among the economic growth and pollution. Also, we confirm the hypothesis of basic EKC which assumes the existence of a bidirectional relationship between economic growth and emissions of CO2 in developed European countries during the period of study (1985-2015). In addition, we conclude that there is a two-way causal nexus among energy consumption and pollution in developed European countries.

Territorial Structure

For quite some while Luxembourg has seen an impressive socio-economic development, rendering spatial planning interesting. Although the spatial planning system in Luxembourg is relatively young, it is used to digest and to distribute the socio-economic growth and push for a more polycentric territorial structure. For this, policy makers have a range of instruments available. These include traditional but also many forward-thinking approaches, which give spatial planning in Luxembourg an innovative edge compared to other European countries. Among these forward-thinking approaches are e.g. national public participation processes, soft territorial cooperation or cross-border planning. Therefore, we argue in this article that supplementary to the traditional elements, spatial planning in Luxembourg has many innovative features, deserving more attention in the international planners’ community. Indeed, policy makers from all around Europe can learn and capitalise from the Luxembourgish experiences.
