The International Papers in Political Economy (IPPE) series explores the latest developments in political economy. This eighth volume focuses on the financial crisis currently gripping the
eurozone, examining the root causes and outcomes and the uncertain future of the euro. The volume provides an overview of the crisis and its possible solutions, with a sharp focus on debt
sustainability. Individual countries are also analyzed in great depth, with four more detailed studies of the economic climate in Portugal, Ireland, Spain and Greece, exploring the
implications of the crisis for economic policies of these countries.
