歐元於1999年成立，打破美元獨大的局面。

自2009年初至今年，歐債危機襲捲全球，人人自危。歐盟要求債信不良國家厲行嚴酷節約措施，搶救經濟，無力自救的國家，由歐盟派任專家接手。節約同時帶來社福、教育的萎縮，各國示威、抗爭風起雲湧，希臘政府被迫換人，義大利的公投成為眾矢之的…。

原來被視為區域整合典範的歐盟，短短幾年成為危機的焦點，而且牽動全球禍福。究竟出了什麼問題？歐盟往哪裡去？我們不能不高度關心。

Not Just About Money

EU Crisis and Its Next Step

In 1999, the Euro was born, and soon became a strong alternative currency to the U.S. dollar. However, starting in 2009, first Greece, then Ireland, Italy, Spain and Portugal, the Euro has come under pressure because of the large national debts of these countries. But the crisis is not just about money. Political differences, budget cuts, high unemployment and most importantly the threat to national sovereignty are all factors that have led concerns over the EU’s future. Will the EU endure these growing pains? Can it continue the integration process while respecting the sovereignty of each country？How are these questions going to affect us here in Taiwan?
