This seminar offers a diagnosis of the current European debt crisis that traces its origins to inherent flaws in the legal and institutional design of the Eurozone. Questions to be addressed include:

Is the European Monetary Union responsible for the current Eurozone crisis?

What role have core nations such as Germany and France played in the crisis, compared to peripheral nations such as Spain and Greece?

What are the political and economic implications of austerity?

What policies should Europe adopt to resolve this crisis?
