“…These analyses have provided valuable insights into the effects of the crisis on important issues such as European integration (e.g., the special issues edited by Ioannou et al, 2015;Menz & Smith, 2013;Tosun et al, 2014), voting behavior and public opinion (e.g., the special issues edited by Bellucci et al, 2012;Usherwood & Startin, 2013), the welfare state (e.g., the special issue edited by Heins & de la Porte, 2015), and democratic politics more generally (e.g., Cramme & Hobolt, 2014). Yet just as economists often do not pay enough attention to politics, most political scientists have tended to discount the economic constraints, trade-offs, and dynamics underlying the euro crisis and the policy options available to policymakers.…”

This article introduces the special issue on the political economy of the Euro crisis, which aims to improve our understanding of the causes, consequences, and implications of the highly unusual nature of this crisis: a financial crisis among developed countries within a supranational monetary union. The article provides a brief chronology of the crisis, discusses its underlying causes, and reviews the ways in which comparative and international political economy can help us understand the crisis. The article then discusses the individual and collective contributions of the articles in the special issue and discusses possible future research paths on the political economy of the Euro crisis. We conclude with a brief discussion of how a political economy perspective informs our understanding of the long-term prospects for the Eurozone and European integration.

“…Traditionally, in the European Union (EU), youth unemployment has mostly been a more acute issue in the Southern European countries, but the 2008 financial crisis and the subsequent sovereign debt crises have exacerbated the situation across Europe (see Lahusen et al 2013;O'Reilly et al 2015;Tosun et al 2014Tosun et al , 2016Tosun et al , 2017Tosun 2017). Spells of unemployment early in life are likely to leave scars, which can also affect later employment prospects (Dvouletý et al 2018).…”

“…As bargaining between Member States with diverging national preferences can present an obstacle to further European integration (Tosun, Wetzel, and Zapryanova 2014), diverging European imaginaries expressed by national decision makers can hamper further integration. It is argued that in the interstate bargaining the national decision makers engage to achieve results in their own interest, i.e.…”

“…By focussing on this alleged crisis, we seek to broaden the ongoing debates on European integration that have organized around themes of the Eurozone crisis (e.g. Falkner 2016;Ioannou, Leblond, and Niemann 2015;Menon 2014;Tosun, Wetzel, and Zapryanova 2014).…”

The political vision of Europe during the ‘refugee crisis’: missing common ground for integration

This article analyses imaginaries of political decision makers of the European Union in the context of the 'refugee crisis' and interprets them according to theories of European integration -neofunctionalism and liberal intergovernmentalism. Speeches, interviews, statements and press releases of the 28 heads of state and government and two Commissioners are analysed through a qualitative content analysis. The aim of the article is to derive prospects for European integration from the imaginaries. We found that the European imaginaries expressed by the largest group of heads of state and government remain blurred without clarification which position is taken on European integration, while the imaginaries expressed by the Commissioners are mainly characterised by support of further integration. Our interpretation of the European imaginaries suggests that the prospects for further integration remain limited according to neofunctionalism, but are higher following liberal intergovernmentalism. In policy fields that are directly related to the management of the crisis further cooperation can be expected.
