Armageddon - for Greece, the euro zone and the EU?
Fabian Zuleeg, Janis A. Emmanouilidis
EPC Commentary
07/2012
The voices calling for Greece to exit the euro zone have become louder, including among prominent members of the German government. In this EPC Commentary, Fabian Zuleeg and Janis A. Emmanouilidis, however, argue that Europe needs Greece to stay in the euro: not only because it is economically the least costly and least risky option, but also because it is the only way to sustain the real achievements of the European integration process: a European Union which safeguards not only the prosperity of the economically strongest, but also peace, prosperity and democracy for all its citizens.
