Two interviews: Eurozone crisis outlook, Banking Union

the Peterson Institute just published a new two-part interview of me by Steve Weisman: 

First part - I look at the policy outlook for the next few weeks and argue that the risk of major market dislocation is low at least until the US election. 

Second part - an update on the next steps for a European Banking Union. 

The Political Redefinition of Europe

On June 8, I was invited by Sweden's Financial Markets Committee (FMK) to give opening remarks at a conference they organized in Stockholm about the role of the European Parliament. I used this occasion to collect some personal thoughts on the political and historical dimensions of the Eurozone crisis.

The text is available here as published by FMK, here as published by PIIE, and here as republished on the Bruegel Blog - or alternatively here in PDF format. 

Europe's Quest for More Union(s)

In this two-part interview, Steve Weisman asks me about the future of the Eurozone and what I called Europe's "fourfold union" in my recent Senate testimony.
