?The event will explore themes from the widely read RMF report ‘Eurozone in Crisis: Beggar Thyself and Thy Neighbour’. It will also contribute to the debate on the social, political and economic aspects of the Eurozone crisis that was launched by the Birkbeck Institute for the Humanities. Since the start of 2010 the Eurozone crisis has become progressively deeper, threatening the existence of the euro as well as the coherence of the European Union. The crisis poses questions of economic malfunctioning and austerity policies imposed on several European countries, but also of democracy and state relations within the European Union. The roundtable will consider these issues from a variety of radical perspectives." http://www.researchonmoneyandfinance.org/events/

Is the Eurozone Crisis A Threat to Global Stability?
"Speaking as G-20 leaders met in Cannes and on the eve of the vote of confidence in the Greek Prime Minister, George Papandreou, former Chancellor of the Exchequer Lord Lawson argued for the ‘orderly abandonment of the whole notion of European Monetary Union’, arguing that the longer it endured, the greater the costs to the economies of the member countries in particular, and to the world as a whole. He also cited the political costs of seeking to preserve it. He outlined a series of reforms to the EU, without which he believed that the UK would need to renegotiate its membership, but he concluded by hoping that this would not be necessary. : http://www.globalstrategyforum.org/newsshow.aspx?id=11&ref=120

Lessons from the Financial Crisis | vox - Research-based policy analysis and commentary from leading economists
"Hyun Song Shin of Princeton University talks to Romesh Vaitilingam about the role of securitisation, mark-to-market accounting and banks’ incentives in the current financial crisis, making an analogy between the feedback mechanisms that made London’s Millennium Bridge wobble dramatically when it was first opened and those that operate within the modern financial system. The interview was recorded in Princeton in August 2009." http://www.voxeu.org/index.php?q=node/3948

Rear Vision looks at how the aftershocks of the crisis are playing out around the world.
