Our approach to understanding the crisis posits EU-level governance and institutional change, national-level policymaking, and domestic politics as interrelated, interdependent domains of political action and public spheres that collectively shape the political landscape of post-crisis Europe. The volume sheds new light on the relationship among the institutional, policy, and polity consequences of the crisis. The book has two fundamental aims. The first is to demonstrate the interconnected nature of European governance, domestic reform, and democratic politics.

The European Union beyond the Crisis: Evolving Governance, Contested Policies, Disenchanted Publics is remarkable in its ability to analyze how the interdependence and tensions between EU governing structures, national governments, and citizens impacted the policy responses to the crisis. In that respect, it goes beyond rehearsed discussions around multi-level governance or the democratic deficit in the European Union and represents a very welcome addition to the literature on EU politics and policymaking. -- Sebastien Lazardeux, St. John Fisher College\u003cbr\u003eThis large collection of essays offers both the essential background and a challenge to those interested in understanding the consequences of the global financial crisis of 2007–2009 for European governance. It provides fresh insight into the long-standing questions of political trust and democratic legitimacy in times of crisis. The theoretical claims are substantiated by detailed cases studies and sophisticated analyses of public opinion. There is no doubt this will be seen as an exciting contribution to the literature on European politics and beyond. -- Jana Grittersova, University of California, Riverside\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: Beyond the Crisis: Governance and Politics in the European Union between Crisis and Opportunity (Editor’s Introduction) \tBoyka Stefanova Part I: European Governance in a Time of Crisis: Limitations and Prospects of The EU’s Economic and Monetary Union Chapter 2: Collaborative Federalism in the European Union: Intergovernmental Relations and the Allocation of Powers in the Economic and Monetary Union \tRobert Csehi  Chapter 3: Trust and Currency: Functional Preconditions and Problems of the Euro \tJenny Preunkert Chapter 4: European Monetary Union versus European Clearing Union: An Application of Keynes to Regional Monetary Systems \tAshley A.C.
