Thinking Beyond the Euro-Crisis: Concepts, Justifications, Innovations

Friday, March 14, 2014: 2:00 PM-3:45 PM

Diplomat (Omni Shoreham)

Who does and/or who is in the position to govern the European economies in (the) crisis: politics, markets, transnational communities? Is (neo-) liberalism (or some variety of it, such as ordo-liberalism) part of the solution or part of the problem in justifying the governance of the Euro-economy? Are concepts of economic orthodoxy such as “austerity”, “competitiveness”, “fiscal adjustment” sufficient and which alternative principles have gained purchase? Functionally speaking, which institutional innovations are required for overcoming the EU’s financial, sovereign debt and economic crises; will intergovernmental coordination suffice or supranational economic government be required, with or without strict conditionality and sanctions? How can the EU generate the proper financial resources that are needed for reconciling tensions among heterogeneous Eurozone economies?
