  • The Euro Crisis’ Theory Effect: Northern Saints, Southern Sinners, and the Demise of the Eurobond

    Matthias Matthijs, Kathleen R Mcnamara et al.ARTICLEJournal of European Integration2015Cited by: 148References: 12

    Of the multiple narratives EU policymakers could have chosen at the onset of the euro crisis, why did austerity and structural reform win out over other plausible cures for member states’ problems? Arguably, sovereign debt pooling or more federalized economic governance would have been a solution to member states’ national deficits and competitiveness woes. To understand this puzzle, we draw on the sociology of knowledge literature. We argue that…

So why delegate? Theories of …
