Texas International Law Journal

TOPIC: The Euro Crisis

LOCATION: The University of Texas School of Law [Map]

First Greece, then Ireland, Italy, Spain and Portugal. The European common currency has come under pressure from large national debts and the effects of the global financial crisis, ultimately requiring a rescue package close to a trillion Euros. The Euro Crisis has profound implications for law and policy in the European Union and raises numerous questions of fundamental importance. Should the Treaty on the EU be amended to provide a clearer basis for financial rescue measures? Should the European Union be able to interfere in the economic and fiscal policy of individual member states? Does the Euro Crisis call for a redefinition of the role of the European Central Bank?

The Texas International Law Journal, in conjunction with the Center for European Studies at the University of Texas, will attempt to address some pressing international finance questions at its upcoming Symposium on the Euro Crisis, taking place February 9-10 at The University of Texas School of Law. The Symposium will feature a number of legal and economic scholars from around the world and will focus on both the legal and practical implications the current Euro Crisis has on the European Union and the world. The Symposium takes place in the Eidman Courtroom, rm 2.306, and is free and open to the public. The Keynote Address takes place this Thursday, February 9, at 5:00 pm. The Symposium continues Friday, February 10, from 9 am to 4:30 pm.
