The fate of the eurozone – what kind of Europe can survive the crisis?

The scale of the financial crisis afflicting the countries of the eurozone seems to keep on growing.  And there are mixed signals of any political action that will bring that crisis under control.  Do the European heads of government have a plan in mind?  Or are they still at risk of being overtaken by events?

This conference, organised by Federal Union and the Federal Trust, will look at the causes of the crisis, the economic solutions that might work, and the political strategies that are needed.  What kind of political Europe will emerge from the crisis?
