The Centre for European Studies and the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung is pleased to present: The Euro Crisis: How it Started and Where it Might Lead.
The European financial crisis took a dramatic turn for the worse in late 2011. Government borrowing costs in the Eurozone skyrocketed, elected governments in Greece and Italy collapsed, and various EU summits failed to contain the crisis. There is increasing fear that the crisis might end up affecting Canada as well. This briefing describes the background of the crisis, explains the rescue plans devised by European governments and assesses the implications of the crisis for European integration more generally.
