The Choice for Europe – Reform or Decline

The sense of urgency and crisis in Europe over the last few weeks has been palpable. Fears of a sovereign default by an EU member state have been quickly superceded by fears over the integrity of the Eurozone itself. As worrying as these developments have been, it is clear that to blame the current situation on proximate causes such as financial speculation or political prevarication is to ignore a much bigger and scarier picture.

Fixing Finance – The EU Dimension

The IIEA’s International Financial Reform Working Group came together in 2009 and evolved in various formats from then up to March 2010. Its regular roundtable meetings were complemented by a series of keynote addresses at the IIEA on related topics.

These publications have emerged from the process. It is hoped that they will provide a basis for further discussion and research among the members of the Working Group itself, the membership of the IIEA, and a wider public.
