International Bubbles, European Currency Union, and National Failures: The Case of Greece and the Euro Crisis

  • Chapter
The Greek Crisis and European Modernity

Part of the book series: Identities and Modernities in Europe ((IME))

Abstract

Europe is going through a deep crisis, arguably the most dangerous since the foundations were laid for the European political order after the end of the Second World War. The crisis will shape Europe and European integration for years to come. Long gone is the tide of Euro-enthusiasm that helped raise the Euro-boat at the beginning of the twenty-first century, when economic and monetary union, together with the prospect of an ever more ambitious enlargement and the transformation of the founding treaties into a constitution, were expected to lead Europe to a much higher stage of integration.
