EU의 경제위기 대응과 신자유주의적 통합의 심화

초록

The EU’s response to the economic crisis was not the consequence of a pre-existing design. The structure of the EU, and its lack of regulating mechanism for internal imbalances, involves great internal contradictions and makes solving them hard. Economic crises are also periods of divergence for the conjunctural reconfiguration of social forces. Neoliberal powers in the EU make use of existing crises to change existing power relations and push forward the postponed neoliberal restructuring of the whole EU. As the ECB emerges as a critical actor for crisis management, significant parts of member state sovereignty are being transferred to the ECB, which is given uncontrolled power of neoliberal integration for the EU. What is important for the EU is not to overcome an existing crisis itself, but to find appropriate direction after the crisis.
