Economic Crisis in Europe 
What it means for the EU and Russia

The financial crisis of 2008-09 took an unexpected turn upon challenging a core symbol of Europe’s integration project, the Euro. In this volume, leading experts tackle questions on the capacity of the EU to respond, the manner discontent electorates will hold their leaders to account, and the implications for Europe’s future relations with Russia.
