| Title | Slovakia and the Economic Governance of the European Union at the Times of the Crisis |
| Summary | The thesis discusses the ‘hot’ issue of the current crisis in the European Union. The theoretical explanations of the role of the Economic and Monetary Union and its institutional setting in the transformation of a local liquidity problem of several peripheral countries of the Union into a full-blown crisis of the European unification are presented in the opening chapter. In addition to that, the issue is evaluated using the concept of economic governance. This theoretical introduction is followed by an analysis of the efforts to address the crisis by the European Union’s institutions and member states. Finally, a question of the impact of these changes on Slovakia is being discussed with the aim of discovering the upsides and downsides of the changes of the status quo from the prospective of Slovakia. The thesis concludes by stating, that Slovakia benefits from the changes politically and economically, but they also create risks by potentially undermining the identification of Slovaks with the Euro. |
