- EU Economic Policy: The Eurocrisis (1.5 credits short course)
REGN U6305
The course will introduce students to the EU economic policy and the transformations it undertook at a fast pace during the economic and financial crisis. The course will start with an overview of the EU’s response to the crisis, focusing on how the eurozone beat a path towards high levels of integration. It will look at the legacy of the crisis, and the further steps the euro area could take to complete the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). Finally, it will explore the challenges of coping with an increasingly volatile external environment. Students will learn how the EU economic policy is devised and implemented from the perspective of a former European Commissioner and Minister for the economy and finance. They will examine the interplay between the national and the European level, as well as the political trade-offs the EU confronted during the crisis.
