This book is the collection of papers delivered during the 2011 edition of the Mediterranean research Meetings, held in Montecatini terme under the aegis of the European Universitary Institute.
Despite the fact that the economic systems of the Mediterranean states are so connected to each other, remarkable differences remains for what concerns the application of taxes, the taxpayer's rights, the fundamental principles taxation is based on.
After the first volume (Bridging a Sea, Aracne, 2010) Yoseph Edrey and Marco Greggi bring their attention, in particular to the effect of the global crisis on the mediterranean tax systems, and on the way and means to overtake it.
