Governance and Institutions

(2 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

The aim of the course is to present the different stages of the institutional process of construction of the Euro zone since the Lisbon Treaty (2009). Two major questions will receive particular attention: the examination of the foundations, coordination rules and European control procedures in matters of budgetary policy on the one hand (stability pacts, TSCG, European semester); the presentation and analysis of the foundations of the ECB's monetary policy and the new regulations (Banking Union, Eurogroup, ESM) on the other. These questions will be supplemented by a third examination of the specificity and limits of the European policy mix in the light of the 2008 crisis.
