In March 2014, Eurodad (European Network on Debt ans Development) and the Brussels office of the Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung brought together politicians, academics and civil society activists from Europe and other regions to discuss alternative solutions to the debt crisis. The conference was scheduled to take place in Brussels in the run up to May’s European Parliament elections – the first European elections since the global financial crisis turned into the European debt crisis, and a key opportunity to change the path of European debt policies.

What are Alternative Solutions to the Debt Crisis?

The new conference report gives insights to the contributions and presents alternative strategies to exit the debt crisis.
