A Roundtable Conversation on the Greek and European Debt Crisis

In the aftermath of the financial crash of 2008 what started as a banking crisis morphed into a broad systemic challenge on states and trans-national bodies such as the European Union. Debt, Sovereignty, and Civil Society looks at the Greek and European aspect of this global crisis, locates the seeds of current events in history, and examines its effects on sovereign nations. Finally our event examines the response of civil society to the demands of supranational institutions and to the abstract forces of world finance, fulfilling SFU’s commitment to engage the world.

Participants Othon Anastasakis (University of Oxford), Valia Aranitou (University of Crete) , Lawrin Armstrong (University of Toronto), Emilios Avgouleas (University of Edinburgh), Alec Dawson (SFU), Professor George Dertilis (École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales), Jon Driver (SFU), Steve Easton (SFU), André Gerolymatos (SFU), Gaston Gordillo (UBC), Kostis Kornetis (Brown University), Dimitris Krallis (SFU), Katerina Lagos (California State University, Sacramento), Edward McWhinney (SFU Emeritus), Ian Mulgrew (Vancouver Sun), Dimitris Papadimitriou (Manchester University), Álvaro Pereira (Minister of Economy and Labour, Portugal / SFU), Michalis Spourdalakis (University of Athens), Stavros Thomadakis (University of Athens)
