Description of the research topic:

By the mid-2010s the economy of the EU and the Eurozone mostly overcame the 2008-2013 crisis however instabilities and imbalances remained. Following a few relatively smooth years, the Brexit process and the COVID-19 pandemic shook the European economy and EU policy-making. In terms of the pandemic, the EU replied with new instruments (SURE, NextGenerationEU) that represent new levels in integration. From 2022 onwards, the EU policies are primarily determined by the inflation unprecedented in the 20+ years’ history of the euro, and the unfolding energy crisis. Regarding the crisis times, EU and member state level crisis management measures, and relations with and differences from the global events can be examined. As for the Eurozone periphery, the complex problematique of being weak in a monetary union, together with the issues of (economic) stability, development, and competitiveness, may also be subject to investigation. In addition, the most recent challenges that the EU and the Eurozone are facing, especially in the current times of large-scale digitalisation, automatisation and robotisation, can also be studied within this framework.
