This Week’s Briefing: Economic Government<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How are decisions made in the euro area? And how democratic are they? These questions moved to the center of the debate during the euro crisis. Under tremendous time pressure, solutions had to be found for stabilizing the euro. New institutions and rules were created such as the European Stability Mechanism, the Banking Union and the Fiscal Compact. Who makes the decisions in the Eurozone today? Is there a democratic deficit? Does the currency union need better control mechanisms – or are the old ones good enough?<\/p>\n

During the euro crisis, decisions had to be made under enormous time pressure. New institutions and rules were created. This briefing looks at how decisions in the Eurozone are made today and whether there is a democratic deficit. Does the currency union need new and better control mechanisms – maybe even up to the point of a genuine European economic government?<\/p>\n","thumbnail":"https:\/\/bst-europe.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2017\/12\/governance-title.jpg","thumbnailsquare":"https:\/\/bst-europe.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2017\/12\/governance-title.jpg","authors":[{"id":3177,"name":"Katharina Gnath","link":"https:\/\/bst-europe.eu\/de\/blogger\/katharina-gnath\/"}],"categories":[{"id":596,"name":"Economic Security & Trade","link":"https:\/\/bst-europe.eu\/category\/economy-security-trade\/"}],"tags":[{"id":151,"name":"Publications","link":"https:\/\/bst-europe.eu\/tag\/publications\/"}]}
