THE EUROPEAN BANKING UNION RECONSIDERED. LESSONS FROM ECONOMIC HISTORY
In response to the financial crisis that emerged in 2007-2008, the European Union pursued a number of new initiatives to create a sounder financial sector. A Banking Union was envisaged. A Single Rulebook was formed for all the financial players in the 28 Member States of the EU, and a Single Supervisory Mechanism(SSM) and a Single Resolution Mechanism (SRM) were established for the Eurozone. Banking Union is a critical step towards a tighter union in Europe, and its success or failure can impact on the ultimate goal of political union, too.
While the establishment of a supranational banking union is a unique experiment in history, useful lessons can be drawn from the past. In this perspective issue no. 2/2015 of the "Journal" will be devoted to "The European Banking Union reconsidered. Lessons from Economic History".
Papers related to the topic in historical perspective are welcome, including:
• oversight and supervision in national financial systems;
• "bail-in" and "bail-out";
• the consequences of strengthened capital and liquidity;
• framework and institutions for the protection of deposits;
• "too-big-to-fail";
• vicious circles between weakening banks and weakening national finances.
The list is tentative, and all proposals falling under the general topic will be considered.
The topic is not limited by geographical or historical boundaries. Papers related to EMU Member States, to European countries or countries outside Europe are eligible. Papers on Modern History are eligible, too.
