by J. DeBardeleben (Editor), C. Viju (Editor)

Overview

The financial crisis of 2008-09 took an unexpected turn upon challenging a core symbol of Europe's integration project, the Euro.

Editorial Reviews

This interesting … volume takes in a broad range of topics, from macroeconomics, to trade, to climate change, and back again. … the chapters get better as they move along and there are indeed important nuggets of analysis here. … this represents a valuable attempt to understand the EU and Russia in a time of severe economic crisis.” (Christopher A. Hartwell, Journal of Common Market Studies, Vol. 53 (3), 2015)
