Ponieważ Polska jest członkiem Unii Europejskiej od 2004 r., możemy mówić o jej podejściu jako państwa członkowskiego do kryzysów w UE od niespełna 10 lat. W tym okresie miało miejsce kilka kryzysów, spośród których najważniejszymi wydają się być dwa: 1/ kryzys, który umownie można nazwać „ustrojowym”, a który był związany z odrzuceniem Konstytucji dla Europy, a także 2/ kryzys gospodarczy, związany z dramatycznym pogorszeniem się koniunktury światowej pod koniec pierwszej dekady XX w. Ponieważ kryzys dotyczący Konstytucji dla Europy stanowił już przedmiot wielu analiz, ponadto Polska uczestniczyła w procesie opracowywania Konstytucji w stopniu bardzo ograniczonym, a także z racji na ramy objętościowe niniejszej publikacji, opracowanie niniejsze dotyczy kwestii podejścia Polski do kryzysu gospodarczego z lat 2008-2013.

In this book, legal scholars from the EU Member States (with the addition of the UK) analyse the development of the EU Member States' attitudes to economic, fiscal, and monetary integration since the Treaty of Maastricht. The Eurozone crisis corroborated the warnings of economists that weak economic policy coordination and loose fiscal oversight would be insufficient to stabilise the monetary union. The country studies in this book investigate the legal, and in particular the constitutional, pre-conditions for deeper fiscal and monetary integration that influenced the past and might impact on the future positions in the (now) 27 EU Member States. The individual country studies address the following issues: - Main characteristics of the national constitutional system, and constitutional culture; - Constitutional foundations of Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) membership and related instruments; - Constitutional obstacles to EMU integration; - Constitutional rules and/or practice on implementing EMU-related law; and - The resulting relationship between EMU-related law and national law Offering a comprehensive and detailed assessment of the legal and constitutional developments concerning the Economic and Monetary Union since the Treaty of Maastricht, this book provides not only a study of legal EMU-related measures and reforms at the EU level, but most importantly sheds light on their perception in the EU Member States.

As notions of crisis management, such as the fiscal multiplier applied by the IMF or the Reinhart and Rogoff 90% of GDP debt threshold, became questionable and, on occasion, discredited, a new policy tool was needed. One that sounds reasonable, smart and adaptable. The ‘structural deficit’ meets these requirements. It is at the heart of the Fiscal Compact, formally known as the Treaty on Stability, Coordination and Governance in the Economic and Monetary Union, which was signed in March 2012 by all member states of the EU, except for the Czech Republic, the UK and Croatia (subsequently acceding the EU in July 2013) and ratified by all 25 signatories as of 1 April 2014.
