European politics and the Euro crisis: Ten failures

The euro crisis is deepening and accelerating week by week. It is a political and economic crisis not only of the eurozone but of the European Union as a whole and with potentially far-reaching consequences. There is intense debate over the different likely outcomes to the crisis: whether the eurozone will survive intact with 17 members (although very likely with many member states mired in recession), or whether the eurozone may split or collapse entirely. All of these scenarios have major implications for the European Union as a whole – politically as well as economically.

The Lessons of the Eurozone Crisis that Should Shape the EU’s G20 Stance

In Friends of Europe’s first Fellowship report, Dr Yannos Papantoniou, a former Greek finance minister, draws lessons from Greece’s debt crisis to propose eurozone reforms and also a more proactive approach by the EU to global governance issues. The report advocates a permanent secretariat for the G20 and a number of regulatory and supervisory rules that would cover banking and financial services around the world.
