试析金融危机对欧洲一体化的影响

The Impact of the Financial Crisis on European Integration

始于美国的次贷危机,在全球化的推波助澜之下,迅速演变为全球性的金融危机。在这次危机中,几乎没有哪个国家或地区能够独善其身,欧盟也未能幸免。客观地讲,由于欧盟本身的经济状况和发展潜力,使得它在危机中遭受的损失异常巨大,恢复的过程也显得异常艰难。这些因素势必会影响欧洲一体化的进一步发展,也会影响欧盟在未来国际格局构建中的能力。具体而言,金融危机对欧洲一体化的动力基础、内部团结、外部环境,以及欧盟作为世界一极的国际地位及影响力等不同层面均造成不同程度的影响,使欧盟目前本不顺利的一体化道路更显荆棘,也为欧洲一体化的前景增添了许多变数。

The subprime mortgage crisis which began in the USA has evolved into a global financial crisis rapidly fueled by globalization. During this crisis,almost no country or region can be spared, so EU was not an exception. But objectively speaking, the EU＇s own economic situation and development potential makes it not only experience unusurally large losses in the crisis,but also the recovery process was extremely difficult. These factors will certainly affect the further development of European integration, and will also affect the future of the EU＇s ability to build international pattern. Specifically, the financial crisis has affected European integration in different degrees from different levels, such as the power basis of integration, internal unity, external environment, and EU＇s international status and influence as a pole in the world .
