Fiscal and Banking Union in The Eurozone?, is now available from the FIC Press, the publishing arm of the Financial

The European
University Institute (EUI) and the Wharton Financial Institutions Center (FIC,
Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania) organised a conference entitled
“Political, Fiscal and Banking Union in the Eurozone” at the EUI in Florence,
Italy, on 25 April 2013. The event was financed by the PEGGED project
(Politics, Economics and Global Governance: The European Dimension) and a Sloan
Foundation grant to the FIC. The conference brought together leading
economists, lawyers, political scientists and policy makers to assess the
prospects and potential for, as well as obstacles to, the various forms and
degrees of integration needed within the Eurozone in order to address the root
causes of Europe’s current malaise. The aim was for open discussion and debate
on the relationships between these different levels of union. Was one type of
union achievable without the other? Or would the intractable difficulties of
achieving each level of union spill over to lessen the chances of the other
ever being a likely practical possibility?
