EUROZONE CRISIS The Eurozone in 2012 EUROZONE CRISIS: Eurozone fracture in 2012 This paper outlines a plausible scenario in which the Eurozone fractures in 2012. Events are unlikely to follow the path precisely as described, given the complexity of the problem and the number of variables which are continually changing. That said, we feel 2012 is unlikely to end with all the current members still being part of the Eurozone. Mapping a ‘break-up’ scenario should help readers understand how…

with a currency union by linking European currencies which led to the European monetary system, the precursor of the euro. Once the euro was established it seemed like the big steps to get those next levels of cohesion never actually happened. The “sin” of the European monetary union was that they created a system where you had monetary union without fiscal union. The structure of euro was such that you had to take fiscal discipline by the governments on faith because the European Union does not touch…

Euro Effects Introduction European Monetary System (EMU) is the arrangement by following which most EU (European Union) nations have connected their currencies to put a stop to great changeability and vacillations relative to one another. It was in 1979 that this system was organized in order to soothe and stabilize the foreign exchange and respond to price increases among member nations.

For the last decade the European Union has struggle to hold itself together against multiple crisis and national rivalries of its member nations. The European Union (EU) has time and time again overcome these union breaking threats. However, since the American recession of 2008, the EU faces its greatest challenge of its short existence: the Eurozone crisis. The Euro, the monetary unit of the EU, is falling due to the fiscal policies of the so called PIIGS nations: Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece…

In the past decade the world has witnessed a collapse of the world financial system, the Euro-zone crisis, an imploding Middle East, conflicts in Ukraine and natural disasters that have rocked global stock markets and investor confidence. Global Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) fell by 18 per cent to $1.3 trillion in 2012. This decline was in sharp contrast to other key economic indicators like GDP and unemployment registered positive growth at the global level (United Nations, 2013). The economic…

The recent economic crisis in the European Union (EU) over the common currency, the euro, has led to great concerns of what will eventually come of the EU and its currency. As the crisis continues, the role of domestic politics and the negative effects they had on the EU as an institution become apparent. Countries, especially Greece, began to ignore the most crucial aspects of EU agreements, most notably the Maastricht Treaty of 1992. In the Maastricht Treaty, the Greeks ignored basic economic guidelines…

Since joining the European Union, Greece has struggled economically, politically, and might continue to struggle in the future. When the European Union was “founded with the…

The Euro Crisis is the failure of the Euro, the currency that binds all 19 countries of the Eurozone together. The tightly knit nature of this economy means that if even one country’s economy fails, Europe as a whole goes with them. This currency, which was originally created to stimulate economic growth, has become the cause of much accumulated debt. Situation: Currently the PIIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece, and Spain), whose GDP ratios are all well over 100%, are in danger of sinking…
