AFTERMATH - POLITICAL AND URBAN CONSEQUENCES OF THE EURO CRISIS

Whether it is indeed the end or simply habituation: At least in thesense of a critical juncture, the euro crisis is over. Now it is timeto take stock and examine the longer-lasting impacts of the crisis. In this volume, authors from Portugal and Germany focus on theconsequences of the crisis of EuropeÆs common cur¬rency that are notlikely to disappear with the end of urgent problems on the financialmarkets. The euro crisis triggered political innovations and causedlong-lasting economic, political, and social problems. In order toanalyze these developments, the volume concentrates on the politicallevel and the urban sphere, an approach that seems to be appropriatein order to grasp both macro- and micro-phe-nomena. The aim is toassess processes of institutional change at the national and theEuropean level as well as to demonstrate in which way economic andpolitical pro¬cesses affect peoplesÆ living conditions and,conversely, how people cope with the crisis.
