Book Presentation for the EU Commission’s Directorate General for Economics and Finance (DG ECFIN).

On Tuesday, September 15, I presented Europe’s Crisis of Legitimacy: Governing by Rules and Ruling by Numbers in the Eurozone for the European Union (EU) Commission’s Directorate General for Economics and Finance (DG ECFIN).

The session was introduced by Marco Buti, Director-General for Economic and Financial Affairs at the European Commission and was moderated by Leila Fernandez-Stembridge, DG ECFIN Deputy Head of Unit of Inter-Institutional Relations and Communication.

The book examines the interrelationship between democratic legitimacy at the European level and the ongoing Eurozone crisis that began in 2010. In my remarks, I also discussed the current pandemic and showed how EU has indeed learned its lessons from the past decade
