"Ever since Europe slipped into severe recession following the financial crisis in the U.S., people have been discussing how to make the European Union better equipped for such an economic collapse. In more concrete terms, the power of a community is supposed to prevent individual members from getting into significant economic difficulties which may even go as far as considering exit from the community. Rescue packages, banking supervision, Eurobonds, European unemployment insurance - all that reflects these debates. Ultimately it is about nothing more and nothing less than the future political and economic make-up of the European Union." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
