The Role of Financial Stability in EU Law and Policy offers a comprehensive examination of the concept and normative underpinnings of financial stability, with a specific focus on the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) and the European Banking Union (EBU). Since the outbreak of the financial crisis in 2008, EU institutions and Member States have engaged in a major effort to repair the architecture of the EMU. According to the author, financial stability has become a foundational objective which is based on a set of new supranational normative instruments in EU law and policy. Arguing that financial stability is a foundational objective in EU law and policy, this ground-breaking book provides an in-depth understanding of the newly developed framework to attain supranational financial stability.
