Europe Debate
May 25, 2012
Be it resolved, the European experiment has failed…
In the sweep of human history, the European Union stands out as one of humankind’s most ambitious endeavors. It encompasses half a billion people, twenty-seven member states, twenty-three languages and an economy valued at over $15 trillion. Modern Europe’s stunning achievements aside, its sovereign debt crisis has shaken the world’s largest political and economic union to its core.
Can the federal institutions and shared values of Europeans meet the challenges of debt crisis that are as much political as economic? Or, are Europe’s current woes indicative of a series of deep structural faults that will doom the European Union to breakup and failure?
