James Cooper outlines the possible effects of European debt crisis contagion on the United States.

Experts reflect on the effects of the economic turmoil in Greece and Italy on the Eurozone and discuss the political dimension in resolving the crisis.

The ongoing eurozone sovereign-debt crisis dominated the G20 summit in Cannes, but there is little the United States and other G20 nations can do to influence EU policymakers, says CFR's Steven Dunaway.

Richard McGregor explains how the eurozone crisis showcases diminished U.S. capacity to lead, as Congress debates how to best support the bail out.

Joshua Kurlantzick says Europe is turning to emerging economies to help solve its debt crisis, but it's too bad they can't deliver.

EU leaders have agreed to significant moves to address the eurozone sovereign debt crisis that has roiled global markets. But analysts and investors are skeptical of the plan's long-term prospects.

European leaders met in Brussels to craft a comprehensive solution to the eurozone sovereign debt crisis. Sebastian Mallaby, director of CFR's Greenberg Center for Geoeconomic Studies, and Benn Steil, CFR director of international economics, discussed the outcome of the summit, the role of the continent's banks, the Greek debt crisis, and the eurozone's financial rescue fund.

Sebastian Mallaby and Benn Steil consider whether the Eurozone is salvageable.

Eurozone leaders issued this statement regarding the European debt crisis on October 26, 2011 at their summit in Brussels.

The fate of the EU is in doubt as a crucial summit prepares to address the economic crisis. CFR's Charles Kupchan says the union will likely survive and could even grow stronger by creating more capable institutions to oversee the euro.

Political divisions continue to hamper a comprehensive solution to the eurozone sovereign debt crisis. EU leaders are caught between market forces urging greater European fiscal integration and strong nationalist sentiments warning against a loss of political sovereignty.

As Greece inches closer to defaulting on its pile of sovereign debt, European leaders must move quickly to recapitalize the continent's exposed banking sector, says EU economics expert Jacob Funk Kirkegaard.

While Greece has failed to meet the budget requirements mandated by the EU and the IMF, experts say eurozone leaders will likely continue to bailout the country because the costs of letting it go are far greater.

European leaders feel they have a right and duty to solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Investors and financial markets are growing convinced that Greece will default on its debt, heightening fears of a eurozone banking crisis that would have significant ramifications for an already fragile global economy.

The thirteenth Geneva Report on the World Economy addresses fiscal consolidation policy.

Benn Steil and Paul Swartz look at the dangers of the European Central Bank's ever-deeper forays into fiscal policy and credit allocation.

As Germany and France look to contain a mushrooming sovereign debt crisis, the eurozone will have to consider greater political integration or face a crumbling of the common currency zone, says EU expert Daniela Schwarzer.

The European sovereign debt crisis is compounded by a faltering U.S. economy, making the implementation of an EU-wide federal budget and coordination of nation-state budgets necessary to preserve the single currency, says economist Jacques Attali.
