term effects; how to avoid them in the first place; and, especially how to restructure those

overhanging debts. This volume superlatively encapsulates the work of many of the world’s

greatest experts on this topic of all topics.”

edited by Charles Enoch, Luc Everaert, Thierry Tressel, and Jianping Zhou

moves towards EU-wide solutions on the other, not least in the difficult on-going discussions

on a Single Resolution Mechanism and banking union. The careful assessment in this book

clearly reveals what a difficult exercise the achievement of a well-functioning European

financial system has become.”
