Change in EU Economic Governance during the COVID-19 pandemic through the lens of Historical Institutionalism
Abstract
Ιn 2020, the European Union (EU), had to deal with the multidimensional effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, in each member state the proposed approach for dealing with the pandemic differed according to the domestic social, economic and political context. The economic implications and their magnitude necessitated a collective EU response at the supranational level to synthesize the various trends and perceptions, combined with a revision of EU’s economic governance architecture, to overcome the pandemic. Like any crisis, the pandemic has the ability to evolve those who manage it. In this case, this article examines, through the approach of historical institutionalism, the evolution of the economic governance of the EU during the pandemic and the shaping of the new economic situation in the EU.
Keywords: European economic governance, economic crisis, COVID-19 pandemic, European integration, institutionalism.
