The Brussels-based think tank Bruegel has published a paper called 'A European Mechanism for Sovereign Debt Crisis Resolution: A Proposal', November 2010.

The Bruegel Blueprint argues that Europe should take the lead in defining a solution to the problem of excessive public debts and create a European Crisis Resolution Mechanism (ECRM). The authors, Francois Gianviti, Anne O. Krueger, Jean Pisani-Ferry, Andre Sapir and Jürgen von Hagen, present the rationale for such a mechanism in the euro area and details of how an ECRM would work. The ECRM would be a permanent tool to deal with sovereign debt crises in an effective and predictable way.
