In today's extremely fragile political-economic environment of the European Union, it is particularly important for Greece to prove that it is reliable and capable of charting a new course in its efforts to prevent the risk of uncontrolled bankruptcy.

The collection of speeches at hand evaluates and highlights the way in which the inability of the Eurozone to establish a comprehensive framework for economic and monetary policy, combined with the absence of institutional safeguards and fiscal discipline in Greece, led the country to economic collapse and opened the door to economic nationalism in Europe.

The edition includes timely interventions on the critical issues of the Greek and European crises from the conferences organized by the Center for Progressive Policy Research - "Europe: Integration or Dissolution?" (30-10-2012), "Euro and Greece: Dilemmas and Choices" (2-2-2012), and "Eurozone Crisis and Globalization" (25-5-2011) - contributing constructively to public dialogue and activating the European reflections of the country.
