Has the Eurozone Crisis strengthened or weakened the EU?
Speaker:
Professor Roger Vickerman, Professor of European Economics,
Dean, Brussels School of International Studies, University of Kent
Prof. Vickerman gave the audience some inspiring insights on the discussion of the Eurozone crisis. Commencing with the background and functioning mechanism of the European Monetary Union, he explained the origins and the process of the debt issues of several European countries which led to the current European economic adversity.
Different proposed policy responses, including stronger economic governance, financial aid system, EU banking union, the possibility of the Euro Bonds and the role of the ECB were examined. Students and professors interacted with Prof. Vickerman through a number of questions in the Q&A session, including a question about the current “austerity and growth” debate.
