What makes this so serious is that it is not a single crisis but rather multiple crises – the euro crisis, the migration\/refugee crisis, Brexit, etc. – that overlap and reinforce one another, creating a cumulative array of challenges that threatens the very survival of the EU. For the first time in its history, there is a real risk that the EU could break up. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume brings together sociologists, economists and political scientists from around Europe to shed light on how the EU got into this predicament. It argues that the multiple crises that have plagued the European Union in the last decade stem to a large extent from flaws in its construction and that these flaws are consequences of the political processes that led to the formation of the EU – in other words, the decisions that made possible the development of the EU created the conditions for the multiple crises it experiences today. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis timely and wide-ranging book on one of the most important issues of our time will be of great interest to students and scholars in the social sciences, to politicians and policy-makers and to anyone concerned with Europe and its future.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eList of Contributors\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eList of Figures\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePart I: Economic Crises\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 1: The End of European Integration as We Knew It: A Political Economy Analysis\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOlivier Bouin\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 2: Making Sense of the Greek Crisis, 2010-2016\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eManos Matsaganis\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 3: The Consequences of Crisis on the European Banking System\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEmilio Ontiveros\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 4: The Financial Crisis and the Restructuring of the Italian Banking System\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSviatlana Hlebik\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 5: European Science and Technology in a Time of Crisis: ERC, EIT and Beyond\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eJoão Caraça et al.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePart II: Social Crises\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 6: Austerity and Health: The Impact of the Crisis in the UK and Rest of Europe\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDavid Stuckler et al.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChapter 7: Suffering: The Human and Social Costs of Economic Crisis\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eJohn B.
