The rise of Euroscepticism and how to deal with it in the EU

Abstract:

It used to be seen as a British disease, but Euroscepticism has spread like a virus across the continent – infecting creditors, debtors, would-be euro-members and outs alike.

Trust in the European project has fallen even faster than European interest rates. Since the beginning of the crisis, France losses 32 points, Germany -49, Italy -52, Spain -98, Poland -44, UK –36.

The damage is so deep that it does not matter whether countries are creditors, debtor countries, would-be members of the euro or countries with opt-outs: everybody is worse off.
