- Is the European Monetary Union responsible for the current Eurozone crisis?

- What role have core nations such as Germany and France played in the crisis, compared to peripheral nations such as Spain and Greece?

- What are the political and economic implications of austerity?

- What policies should Europe adopt to resolve this crisis?
