The Eurozone Crisis (MRUniversity)

Offered by Marginal Revolution University,
The Eurozone Crisis (MRUniversity)

What's the future of the European Union and the Euro? The Eurozone Crisis is one of the most important issues in the world today. In this free three week mini-course, we cover both the institutions that make up the European Union and the underlying economics that are behind the crisis.

We cover what is considered "consensus" knowledge by economists while also adding our own speculations in the mix.
We will be updating this course as the situation changes in Europe. Click the "follow this course" button to stay up-to-date.
This class does not require any particular knowledge of mathematics. If you pass the final exam, you will earn our "Eurozone Crisis" certificate on your profile.

Ce cours vise à faire acquérir des savoir-faire spécifiques à la gestion de crise. Après une présentation de la nature de la crise, il fournit des conseils en matière de communication de crise et donne une méthode de résolution de la crise. A la fin de ce cours, les participants doivent pouvoir aborder une crise de manière plus sereine.

Le sens de l'action publique (FUN)

Social Sciences

L’action publique est au cœur d’une crise du sens. Critique de la dépense publique, perte de confiance des citoyens envers les institutions politiques, situation économique difficile, manque de prospective sur l’avenir de la société : les agents publics expriment un malaise et des interrogations sur le sens de leurs missions ; les citoyens s’interrogent aussi sur leur futur et celui des services publics entre réduction des coûts et fermeture des établissements de proximité. Nous vous proposons de réfléchir ensemble à ce qui caractérise cette crise et ses origines et d’identifier ce qui peut permettre de réaffirmer un sens pour l’action publique, pour mieux préparer l’avenir.
