  • Best Wishes! Anna

    Best Wishes! Anna

    Mail from Europe No. 18, 17 September 2015 Dear Anna, Alexis Tsipras has shown remarkable leadership qualities since he was elected. But how much credibility has he lost on the way between promises he was incapable of keeping? Is there any chance he can convince a majority that a government led by him would be best suited to steer the country through the next years? As the opinion polls in the final countdown to the snap elections in Greece next Sunday display a growing support for SYRIZA’s main contender New Democracy (ND), thus levelling ND’s and SYRIZA’s chances in the run, several observers hurried to argue that the star of Tsipras faded. It has been also argued that – given Tsipras’ inability to deliver on his anti-austerity promises – his credibility dwindled and he might not be able to lead SYRIZA to a victory in the elections. Well, not necessarily... Tsipras is a very bright politician who has come to an understanding that what really matters in politics is not what you have done but how you present what you have done. He made it evident during the televised debate last Monday. As the case of the third bailout program for Greece proves, Tsipras possesses the ability of turning his defeat into a virtue, and still benefit from it. Tsipras also remained unaffected by the attitude and contestable media interventions of Yanis Varoufakis that eventually led to a rupture in his government. The ousting of Varoufakis was done in a very skillful and well-coordinated framing of this event in the Greek tabloids.
  • Iraq's Debt Relief

    Iraq's Debt Relief

    Order Code RL33376 Iraq’s Debt Relief: Procedure and Potential Implications for International Debt Relief Updated October 10, 2007 Martin A. Weiss Analyst in International Trade and Finance Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Iraq’s Debt Relief: Procedure and Potential Implications for International Debt Relief Summary Following the ouster of the Saddam Hussein regime in spring 2003, Iraq’s external debt was estimated to be $125 billion. Reducing this debt to a sustainable level has been a priority of the U.S. government. Since 2003, debt relief negotiations have taken place in a variety of fora and led to the cancellation of a significant amount of Iraq’s external debt. Iraq’s external debt comprised four components: Paris Club bilateral debt ($37.15 billion), non-Paris Club bilateral debt ($67.4 billion), commercial debt ($20 billion) and multilateral debt ($0.5 billion). Debt relief negotiations first led to an 80% reduction of the Paris Club debt. The Paris Club agreement also set the terms for non-Paris Club and commercial debt cancellation levels. A provision of the Paris Club agreement is that Iraq cannot accept a debt cancellation agreement with other creditors on less favorable terms than those reached with the Paris Club. Thus, Iraq is expected to receive no more than an 80% cancellation from all of its creditors. Negotiations with non-Paris Club creditors are ongoing, and resolution of the commercial debt is largely complete. The negotiations and process of providing debt relief to Iraq may shed some light on the approaches bilateral and corporate creditors take toward providing international debt relief to middle-income countries who would not be eligible for the debt relief already provided to the poorest countries.
  • Looking East: the European Union's New FTA Negotiations in Asia

    Looking East: the European Union's New FTA Negotiations in Asia

    The European Centre for International Political Economy (ECIPE) is an independent and non-profit policy research think tank dedicated to trade policy and other international econo- mic policy issues of importance to Europe. ECIPE is rooted in the classical tradition of free trade and an open world economic order. ECIPE’s intention is to subject international economic policy, particularly in Europe, to rigorous scrutiny of costs and benefits, and to present conclusions in a concise, readily accessible form to the European public. We aim to foster a “culture of evalua- tion” – largely lacking in Europe – so that better public awareness and understanding of complex issues in concrete situations can lead to intelligent discussion and improved policies. That will be ECIPE’s contribution to a thriving Europe in an open world.

  • The Greek Austerity Myth Daniel Gros 10 February 2015

    The Greek Austerity Myth Daniel Gros 10 February 2015

    The Greek Austerity Myth Daniel Gros 10 February 2015 Since the victory of the anti-austerity Syriza party in Greece’s recent general election, the ‘Greek problem’ is again preoccupying markets and policy-makers throughout Europe. Some fear a return to the uncertainty of 2012, when many thought that a Greek default and exit from the eurozone were imminent. Then as now, many worry that a Greek debt crisis could destabilise – and perhaps even bring down – Europe’s monetary union. But this time really is different. One critical difference lies in economic fundamentals. Over the last two years, the eurozone’s other peripheral countries have proven their capacity for adjustment, by reducing their fiscal deficits, expanding exports, and moving to current-account surpluses, thereby negating the need for financing. Indeed, Greece is the only one that has consistently dragged its feet on reforms and sustained abysmal export performance. Providing an additional shield to the peripheral countries is the European Central Bank’s plan to begin purchasing sovereign bonds. Although the German government does not officially support quantitative easing, it should be grateful to the ECB for calming financial markets. Now Germany can take a tough stance on the new Greek government’s demands for a large- scale debt write-off and an end to austerity, without fearing the kind of financial-market turbulence that in 2012 left the eurozone with little choice but to bail out Greece. In fact, both of the Greek government’s demands are based on a misunderstanding. For starters, Syriza and others argue that Greece’s public debt, at a massive 170% of GDP, is unsustainable and must be cut.
  • Being Greek and an Economist While Greece Is Burning! an Intimate Account of a Peculiar Tragedy Yanis Varoufakis

    Being Greek and an Economist While Greece Is Burning! an Intimate Account of a Peculiar Tragedy Yanis Varoufakis

    Being Greek and an Economist while Greece is Burning! An intimate account of a peculiar tragedy Yanis Varoufakis Abstract The crisis that erupted in Wall Street in the fall of 2008 has had some bizarre side effects. One of them was to push small, inconsequential Greece onto the front pages of the world’s leading newspapers and make it a permanent feature in the nightmares of peoples and policy-makers worldwide. Another was the paradox of amplifying Greek voices during the country’s economic implosion while, at once, denying them analytical authority over their pre- dicament. The paper is a personal account of this paradox as experienced by a Greek economist who also lives through another, more personal, paradox: despite his portrayal by the media as an “expert,” he has been advocating that economists, independently of their intelligence or personal ethics, belong to a sinister priesthood purveying thinly disguised (and heavily mathematized) superstition as scientific economics. Introduction As an economist who, atypically, looks up to historians, philologists, and anthropologists as species higher up on the evolutionary chain than us econ- omists, I am chuffed to be here tonight, especially in a humanities audience afflicted, either by choice or circumstance, by the same condition as myself: an inescapable Greek-ness. I shall try to repay your trust with an intimate story of a most peculiar condition, a story that unfolds at the intersection of multiple failures of which the Greek implosion is just one. Let me begin at the beginning. I arrived in Britain as a green-behind-the- ears Athenian radical, to study mathematical economics at Essex University.

    Yanis Varoufakis, Adults in the Room: My Battle with Europe’S Deep Establishment

    Review: Yanis Varoufakis, Adults in the Room: My battle with Europe’s Deep Establishment Marnie Holborow ill with his uncompromising exposé of the Troika austerity terror regime. His overall political conclusions, likewise, fail to carry through the logic of his portrayal of the un- democratic nature of the EU. He certainly gives in raw detail what Greece has suffered. When he became Fi- nance Minister, it had lost 25% of its GDP, its minimum wage reduced by 40%, its pen- sioners had seen their living standards drop by 25%, one million Greeks could not pay their electricity bills, many did not have the money to put food on the table. The island of Crete, whose inhabitants are renowned for their pride, experienced the highest number of suicides. The story of Lambros, a trans- lator who lost his job, his job and his family, Yanis Varoufakis, Adults in the Room: My battle with Eu- rope’s Deep Establishment, The Bodley Head, e18.99 stays with Varoufakis as Lambros implored him not to sell out like other governments did. The never-ending spiral of austerity policies, Varoufakis notes, has condemned The Dead-end of the EU and Greece to a social version of a Dickensian SYRIZA, as seen from the In- debtors’ prison and thrown away the key. side Varoufakis is new to establishment poli- tics and, with fresh eyes, he reveals the EU’s Yanis Varoufakis, in his new book, lays bare total distain for democracy.

  • Another Europe Is Possible

    Another Europe Is Possible

    October 2019 Another Europe Is Possible An Interview with Yanis Varoufakis As harsh austerity and xenophobic nationalist fester in Europe, Yanis Varoufakis discusses his antidote with Tellus Senior Fellow Allen White. What inspired your career trajectory from academic economist to prominent supranational activist? I went into politics because of the financial crisis of 2008. Had financial capitalism not imploded, I would have happily continued my quite obscure academic work at some university. The chain reaction of economic crises, financial bailouts, and the rise of what I call the Nationalist International that almost broke financial capitalism, and brought Greece severe hardship, had a profound impact on me. In the early to mid-2000s, I was beginning to feel that a crash was approaching. I could see that global financial imbalances were growing exponentially and that our generation or the next would be hampered by a systemic crisis. I left my cocoon writing about mathematical economics and moved from Sydney to Athens at the time Greece was becoming insolvent. I began writing about the current situation and appearing on TV, warning against covering up insolvency with bailouts. Through these appearances as well as writing about government’s role in averting the impending crisis, I drifted into politics. The second transition, from government to activism, was much simpler. Restructuring Greece’s debt was my top priority as Minister of Finance. The moment the Prime Minister surrendered to the austerity demands of the European Commission and accepted another loan without debt restructuring, resignation became the easiest decision of my life. Once I resigned, I was back in the streets, theaters, and town hall meetings setting up the Democracy in Europe Movement 2025 (DiEM25).

Tzogopoulos 1052 Budapest Petőfi Sándor utca 11. +36 1 5858 690 Kiadó: Kína-KKE Intézet Nonprofit Kft. [email protected] Szerkesztésért felelős személy: Chen Xin Kiadásért felelős személy: Huang Ping china-cee.eu The political situation in Greece In July 2015 the Greek coalition government formed by the leftist SYRIZA party and the right-wing Independent Greeks party signed the third bailout programme for the country after the ones agreed in May 2010 and November 2011 respectively. In asking for financial support by its creditors – the European Union (EU) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) – the Greek government pledged to apply additional austerity measures, in particular to increase taxes and spending cuts as well as to carry out structural reforms including privatizations such as that of the Piraeus Port Authority. At the political level, its decision of the Greek government to sign a bailout meant that its pre-election and pre-July 2015 revolutionary agenda had completely failed to achieve better terms for the national economy. By contrast, its results were catastrophic including the introduction of capital controls imposed by the then Greek Finance Minister, Yanis Varoufakis, a measure still existing today. In July 2015 Greece avoided the worst-case scenario: to leave the eurozone and possibly the EU and return to its national currency being adrift in international relations. Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras made the right choice. Despite the cost of his irresponsible stance both domestically and internationally before July 2015 – and especially by organizing an ambiguous referendum which generated anti-bailout and anti-EU paroxysm in the society – he decided to save the country and not allow it entering an unknown adventure.

BREXIT THE EURO HAS PROFOUNDLY CHANGED Tomasz Poreba is a Member of the European Parliament and President of New Direction – The Foundation for European Reform. EUROPE he introduction of the euro was supposed to strengthen the process of European integration. Unfortunately, although the euro has become one of the most visible symbols of the EU, the T number of harmful consequences is growing. The euro has distorted the way in which the economies of Spain, Portugal, Italy and Greece function. Moreover, the countries of southern Europe, as members of a currency union cannot use currency devaluation, the most powerful instrument for coping with a serious economic depression. Economic history teaches us that having your own currency is essential for a country facing a severe economic crisis, but appropriate reforms must follow devaluation to make a recovery sustainable. There can be little doubt that the euro has profoundly changed Europe. A deeper reflection on the nature and consequences of the monetary union in Europe is unavoidable. Today, more than ever before, we can see that the euro has still not improved the economic situation in the European Union. It was clearly a political rather than an economic project. The single currency, instead of accelerating Europe’s prosperity, has deepened divisions between EU member states.
