Schmidt Discusses Her New Book During European Central Bank Webinar
Professor Vivien Schmidt, Jean Monnet Professor of European Integration and Professor of International Relations and Political Science at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, hosted a webinar for the European Central Bank (ECB) to discuss her new book Europe’s Crisis of Legitimacy: Governing by Rules and Ruling by Numbers in the Eurozone.
During the webinar, Schmidt examined the particular challenges the EU’s rules-based governance framework poses to the management of finances, the European sovereign debt crises and the implications this has had for the EU’s democratic legitimacy and public trust since, as well as important lessons for how Europe should handle the COVID-19 crisis.
Schmidt’s new book is now available for purchase in Europe. European audiences can purchase the book here. The U.S. release is scheduled for July 15, 2020. A promotional flyer with a discount can be viewed here, and the book jacket can be viewed here.
