Akbar, Ali, The Euro Crisis and Its Impact on European Economic Integration, Clio: Jahangirnagar University Journal of the Dept.of History, Vol. XXX, 2013.

In January 2013 was the 10th anniversary of the birth of the Euro. It was not a peaceful anniversary despite the fact the Euro has become the most circulated currency and the second most traded currency in the world. Because the Euro-zone is facing a great sovereign debt crisis and the Euro in considered as a failed single currency. But this crisis does not mean that the European Economic Integration process is failed. There is now political consensus in Europe that new rules are needed to prevent large deficits, but there is no agreement on what should be done. European politicians reasoned that the use of a common currency would instill in their publics a greater sense of belonging to a European community and that the shift of responsibility for monetary policy from national capitals to a single central bank in Frankfurt would signal a shift of political power.

It concerns not only tangible, matters such as diplomatic relations, wars, and material resources but also identity issues, symbols, rules and norms, and regime and relationship building for cooperative ventures, governance and conflict prevention. Negotiations of international significance are today conducted not only between individual states, but also within and beyond them. At the same time negotiation practice itself is undergoing much change with changing patterns of conflict and intervention, new urgent issues on the global agenda, new actors and new emerging norms
