Since the start of the Eurozone crisis, Europe has developed new institutions and implemented important reforms. The European Stability Mechanism, the Banking Union and tightened policy surveillance and coordination aim to improve incentives and control for more cooperation and better economic development in Europe. The management of the refugee crisis, Brexit and continued tensions in the Eurozone including disagreements about common monetary policy cast new doubts on the future of Europe. What are the benefits and costs of economic and monetary integration? Which policy functions need centralization and how much autonomy must Member States give up? What should the future relationship between the European Union and the US (“America First”) or Great Britain after Brexit look like?
