In person icon The Euro Crisis, Financial Markets and EU Governance

Abstract

This panel looks at the interactions of supranational and intergovernmental policies in the Eurozone during the 2008 financial and sovereign debt crisis. One paper examines how European integration theories are unable to explain the pendulum-like movement between supranational policies and intergovernmental policies. Another paper examines the impact of the euro crisis on day-to-day politics and asks whether there is there evidence of a change due to the complex environment in which decisions were made. The EU has been able to whether the storm without major political tensions. Is this response a form of strength or rather as an indication of the system's inability to respond to new challenges? Finally, the last paper examines the balance between the monetary policy mandate of Central Banks. What factors influenced the main regulatory decisions? What is the impact of domestic political institutions on the calibration of monetary policy and financial stability policy in EU member states?
