The Current State of Social and Political Conflict in Europe

What are the main economic and political challenges brought to fore by the Great Recession and the ensuing Euro-crisis that has engulfed the continent from 2008 onwards? How did the main political actors – supranational actors, governments, parties, trade unions, social movements’ organisations etc. - respond to these challenges? Did the crisis result in a lasting transformation of European politics and its Economic Governance Regime? These and related questions motivate this symposium that brings together the main insights from a number of on-going research projects on the European crisis (crises) and beyond. An hour of roundtable presentations and two hours of collective discussion make up the programme for this event.
