RWE/CREA 7 mei over begrotingspact EU

April 16 RWE/CREA Europe in Crisis and the BRICs Rising?
While the epicentre of the global economic crisis has shifted towards Europe where economic recession is worsening by the day, China and the other BRIC countries have generally been argued to come out of the global economic and financial crisis remarkably well. European leaders recently turned to individual BRIC countries begging them to invest in the European Financial Stability Fund (EFSF) meant to bail out the indebted Southern Eurozone members.

May 7: The EU Fiscal Pact and the Constitutionalisation of Austerity Forever
Real World Economics/Transnational Institute invite you to the public debate:
The EU Fiscal Pact and the Constitutionalisation of Austerity Forever
The economic crisis has reached a new momentum with the EU heads of government signing the Fiscal Pact on 2 March. What German Chancellor Angela Merkel triumphantly called a ‘milestone in the history of the European Union’ opens up Pandora’s box. Critics warn that the new Fiscal Pact constitutes a massive assault on democracy and leads to a further deepening recession.
RWE/CREA on (de)Growth

During this Real World Economics session, the speakers provide a 'tour de horizon' of the characteristics of the Dutch economic model and give an introduction to its recent history and workings, as well as the particular positioning of the Dutch political economy in the global realm.
