@book{2024:siegle:emu_reform, title = {EMU Reform Mechanisms}, year = {2024}, note = {In a case study of Ireland and Spain, the author establishes a framework that explains how reforms were enabled in the EMU during the eurozone crisis through a mechanism of interdependence between the member state and the European levels. The strong interconnection between both levels proved to be both a cause and a remedy: Each level being dependent on the other“s reliable functioning created an upward spiral of mutually perpetuated reform and thus a process of deepening integration. The author shows that this high degree of interconnectedness was induced by weaknesses on both levels and a simultaneous inability to single-handedly introduce changes, which thus necessitated external intervention by the respective other level.}, edition = {}, publisher = {Tectum}, address = {Baden-Baden}, series = {Young Academics: EU Studies}, volume = {1}, author = {Siegle, Clara Isabella} }
