The question alone makes clear what this crisis is about: the future of the European project. At the same time, muddling through – a typically European answer that limits political risk while not really changing anything – will be difficult, because the consequences of the global economic crisis have not yet been fully addressed.
为南欧国家擦屁股还是放弃欧元？单单这个问题就表明了本轮危机的深刻意义：它关系着欧洲一体化方案的未来。当遇到政治风险时，欧盟各国往往喜欢“捣浆糊”，尽量避免政治风险，但什么也改变不了。可如今，浆糊恐怕也没那么容易捣了，全球经济危机所引起的连锁反应还没有完全应付过去呢。
