Das Buch analysiert vor dem Hintergrund der aktuellen ökonomischen Verwerfungen die politischen Anstrengungen in der Eurokrise. In den Mittelpunkt rücken nicht nur Machtfragen und der Verlust staatlicher Souveränität. Darüber hinaus werden die wirtschaftspolitischen Strategien des Nordens und des Südens der Kritik unterzogen und die Konsequenzen des Krisenmanagements für Staaten, Regierungen und Parlamente untersucht. Die aktualisierte und erweiterte Neuauflage beleuchtet die Ursachen der europäischen Strukturkrise, gibt einen chronologischen Überblick über die bisherige Entwicklung und diskutiert den Wandel und die zukünftigen Probleme der Europäischen Union. Anhand der Ereignisse vom Beginn der Eurokrise bis zur Bewilligung des drittens Hilfspakets für Griechenland lassen sich die tektonischen Machtverschiebungen und der institutionelle Umbau in der EU verdeutlichen, die in der Bankenunion, dem Stabilitätsmechanismus und dem OMT-Programm ihren Ausdruck finden.

Against this background, Alexander Thiele examines in detail for the first time the constitutional framework for possible national reforms of governmental financial supervision. He concludes that national legislature is su...
Federalism has played a central role in charting educational progress in many countries. With an evolving balance between centralization and decentralization, federalism is designed to promote accountability standards without tempering regional and local preferences. Federalism facilitates negotiations both vertically between the central authority and local entities as well as horizontally among diverse interests. Innovative educational practices are often validated by a few local entities prior to scaling up to the national level. Because of the division of revenue sources between central authority and decentralized entities, federalism encourages a certain degree of fiscal competition at t...
