Özet:

 

The over-ambitious nature of the book  and the sweeping nature of some its  statements also open it to criticism. For  example, the link between the emerging  “global fault lines” and the Greek crisis  needs further elaboration to convince the  sceptics. A central question that comes  to mind is whether the “global” element  is overplayed given the highly differential  impact of the eurozone crisis, both on its  Southern and Eastern periphery. How  do we explain the fact that Poland has  emerged quite strong from the eurozone  crisis? Similarly, how do we account for  the fact that countries like Spain and Italy,  although deeply affected by the eurozone  crisis, did not experience the same degree  of collapse and disintegration as in the  case of Greece? Another issue to be raised  is whether the authors are too dismissive  of the European integration project. We  should not underestimate the enormous  benefits brought upon by the process of  European integration on the countries  of the European periphery, especially  on the path to full-membership, in  terms of economic development and  the consolidation of liberal democratic  norms. The transformative impact of  the EU has been tremendous both  in Southern Europe and the Eastern  Europe at different times. Even  Turkey, a unique case with uncertain  membership prospects, has benefited.
