Silvana Tarlea, (2019), “Have Austria, Germany and the Netherlands impeded Eurozone reforms?”, LSE EUROPP, 1 July

Drawing on a new study, Silvana Tarlea illustrates the dynamics that underpin negotiations over Eurozone reforms. She explains that financial sector exposure has informed member state preferences for further European integration: the more exposed their financial sector was, the more likely countries were to support reform solutions leading to more European integration.
