The course critically examines the underlying structural and institutional causes of the Euro crisis. After completion, students will have a better understanding of the basic features of economic governance under the Economic and Monetary Union and the governance reforms implemented during the euro crisis. Students will be able to orient current developments within an appropriate historical context and understand the limitations this history imposes on the contemporary policy landscape.

Space is limited to 15-20 students. Given the topical nature of this course, a high level of interest is anticipated. Early registration is therefore essential to ensure your place. Registration opens in early February 2015.
