The financial and economic crisis in Europe is not over, and the
radically opposing strategies on how to proceed has only increased
the complexity of problems in the region, revealing the
shortcomings of the EU's architecture. The European Union, perhaps
for the first time in its history of more than seventy years, is
being perceived as a threat to the financial and monetary stability
of the world. A Global Perspective on the European Economic Crisis
explores the connection between internal EU actions and
institutions and the external factors that influence the ongoing
response to the European crisis. With a unique collection of
international and interdisciplinary essays, this book considers the
complex macroeconomic and challenging political landscape of
Europe, looking at how and why the European Union is untenable in
its current state. The chapters outline what should be done to make
the common currency area more resilient, and explain why external
events are particularly problematic for the EU, ultimately offering
suggestions for what Europeans should do in order to avoid harmful
internal consequences. This volume confronts the causes of the
crisis' persistence, its economic and political consequences, and
the impact of more recent events and policy decisions. It will be
of interest to researchers and policy-makers keen to understand the
EU relations and the influence of international organizations in
the European economic crisis.

The adoption and management of the common currency has led the
Eurozone to a critical point. This book analyzes in an
interdisciplinary way the fundamental causes of distress, making
sure to relate economic issues to the social and political aspects
of the problem. The book explores the reasons why the Eurozone has
fallen into a policy trap, as well as what Europe did and should do
to exit the crisis, and why this is proving to be so difficult. The
book also considers what role the United States has played, and
could play to help foster a solution for the Eurozone. The main
topics explored are the complex nature of the crisis, the short
circuit between policies and the given institutional architecture,
the controversial role of Germany, and the importance of an active
role of the US. The book brings together a transatlantic group of
scholars in order to offer an interdisciplinary analysis of the
deep causes of the Eurozone distress. The authors recognize that
the Eurozone countries have contrasting situations and interests
and face different problems with complex consequences for the vexed
question of national sovereignty within the EU; and pay attention
to the social and political consequences of the economic and
financial distress and of the perceived strain of the common
currency.

The gold standard anthology for anyone who wants to understand the
development and current state of literary theory. Offering 191
pieces by 157 authors, The Norton Anthology of Theory and
Criticism, Third Edition, is more comprehensive and more varied in
its selection than any other anthology. Forty-eight NEW
selections-concentrated mostly on the twentieth and twenty-first
centuries-make the book not only the best overview of the history
of theory, but also a remarkably up-to-date portrait of the state
of theory today.
Is politics really nothing more than power relations, competing
interests and claims for recognition, conflicting assertions of
"simple" truths? No thinker has argued more passionately against
this narrow view than Hannah Arendt, and no one has more to say to
those who bring questions of meaning, identity, value, and
transcendence to our impoverished public life. This volume brings
leading figures in philosophy, political theory, intellectual
history, and literary theory into a dialogue about Arendt's work
and its significance for today's fractious identity politics,
public ethics, and civic life.
For each essay -- on the fate of politics in a postmodern,
post-Marxist era; on the connection of nonfoundationalist ethics
and epistemology to democracy; on the conditions conducive to a
vital public sphere; on the recalcitrant problems of violence and
evil -- the volume includes extended responses, and a concluding
essay by Martin Jay responding to all the others. Ranging from
feminism to aesthetics to the discourse of democracy, the essays
explore how an encounter with Arendt reconfigures, disrupts, and
revitalizes what passes for public debate in our day. Together they
forcefully demonstrate the power of Arendt's work as a splendid
provocation and a living resource.
