Book cover The Politics of the Eurozone Crisis in Southern Europe

Abstract

This book is part of the larger research project EMU Choices, funded by the Horizon 2020 research programme. The project investigates the politics of the reforms enacted during the Eurozone crisis from 2010 to 2015, which, taken together, mark the most significant deepening of European integration since the Maastricht Treaties. The project’s publications study national preference formation and the negotiations on the European stage. By elaborating in-depth insights on Southern European countries, this book makes an important contribution to the literature. Our chapter summarises some of the findings of the EMU Choices research and situates the book within this larger research programme.
