EU Economic Growth with a 'less rigid' Stability Pact: The Intergovernmental Politics and Economics of Fiscal Policy Coordination in the Euro-zone
Organiser: Dr David Howarth, Dept of Politics, Queen Mary College London

Building EU Economic Government: Revising the Rules?
The aim of this workshop is to bring together economists and political scientists working on 'economic governance' issues in the EU and to explore the economic and political dimensions of the decisions of 2002 to relax the application of the Stability Pact with regard to several countries and other demands for reform of the operation of EMU.  Political scientists, for example, will be interested in what the recent decisions demonstrate about the political nature of Economic Government as a manifestation of the 'semi-sovereignty' game and rule-bound intergovernmentalism.

Abstracts of the papers to be presented at the EU Economic Government Conference (25/26 April, Senate House, University of London) can be found at the following website:
