Although banking and sovereign debt crises are not unusual, the
crisis that has unfolded across the world since 2007 has been
unique in both its scale and scope. It has also been unusual in
being both triggered by, and mainly affecting, developed economies.
Starting with the US subprime mortgage crisis, and the recession in
2007-2009, the problem soon erupted into financial crisis in
Europe. A few of these countries came to the brink of bankruptcy,
and were rescued by the EU and the IMF on the condition they adopt
austerity measures. The detrimental social effects of the crisis in
both the US and Europe are still emerging. Although there have been
several studies published on the US crisis in particular, there has
so far been an absence of an accessible comparative overview of
both crises. This insightful text aims to fill this gap, offering a
critical overview of causes, policy responses, effects and future
implications. Starting with the historical context and mutation of
the crisis, the book explores the policies, regulations, and
governance reforms that have been implemented to cope with the US
subprime mortgage crisis. A parallel analysis considers the causes
of the European sovereign debt crisis and the responses of the
European Union (EU), examining why the EU is as yet unable to
resolve the crisis. This book is supported with eResources that
include essay questions and class discussion questions in order to
assist students in their understanding. This uniquely comprehensive
and readable overview will be of interest and relevance to those
studying financial crises, financial governance, international
economics and international political economy.
