Description
The crises of the year 2011 – the Euro-crisis and the political crisis in Northern Africa – had a deep political and economic impact on the European Union and Germany as its largest economy and one of its key members. The performance of the European Union and – even more importantly – the EU member states in handling those crises points to a broader and persistent crisis of leadership in the EU.
The international and interdisciplinary conference intends to focus on the consequences of the aforementioned crises for Europe and Germany one year after the onset of the “Arab Spring” and the intensified attempts to contain the Euro crisis.
