The history of Europe is a continuous advance overcoming crisis. Today we are leaving the polycrisis of 2010-2015 behind, perhaps the most serious in our history: economic and financial crisis, migration challenge, Brexit, terrorism, neighbourhood... To all these challenges has been added an unexpected, anachronistic, absurd and dangerous nationalist upsurge. The Europe that comes out of the elections of May 26, 2019, is however, a Europe that advances, as Junker said in his "State of the European Union" speech in 2018, "the wind is back in Europe's sails". Nevertheless European project continues to face serious risks and only by strengthening our unity and taking essential steps towards integration our ship will continue to advance. This article analyses risks and challenges for the future of Europe. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The establishment of the esm, the entity that offers financial assistance under strict conditions with the purpose of providing support for the stability of the euro area, was a clear European Union response to the current economic crisis. This entity, which is a part of the current model of economic governance of the EU, is a key element in the process of its coordination and improved economic surveillance, which makes its study to be considered highly relevant and current. Therefore, the main goal of this article is to examine its legal structure, configuration, funding model, and ability to act, in order to then assess its feasibility and the degree of legitimacy deficit that it presents.

This article offers an overview of the eurozone's economic development since the beginning of the crisis, highlighting the underlying deficiencies in the architecture of the EMU that the crisis revealed. It examines the political response to the challenges that the crisis has brought to the fore, showing that this political response has been substantial and has contributed to attenuating the immediate negative effects of the crisis and to reconstructing a more sustainable framework for the EMU. It offers an overall picture of the challenges that remain and, lastly, presents possible political avenues to be taken in the near future with the goal of moving towards a strong authentic EMU.

The aim of this article is to analyse the role allotted to the social economy in the latest EU initiative to be proposed since the crisis. After the launch of Strategy 2020, and in view of the difficulties in meeting its aims due to the crisis, we focus on the start-up of the new architecture of governance in the EU. Based initially on fiscal discipline, it progressively adds social goals, supervising and influencing their achievement, while control of public expenditure and the different recommendations for coordinating social and economic policies constitute a framework that concerns the social economy. In relation to this, we pay attention to the different initiatives connected with promoting social values in the market as well as to those that assign a specific function to the social economy in the search for answers to the crisis.

This article analyzes the reforms adopted by the EU and its Member States addressed at introducing and consolidating in their respective legal systems the basic principle of financial or budgetary balance, commonly known as the "golden rule "; that is to say, the requirement by which the whole of the public administration, at its different levels of government, must keep on a regular basis a situation of balanced budget or with surplus. In this line, this article analyzes firstly the precedents of this legal requirement in comparative constitutional law and then the amendments made by Germany, Spain and Italy on their constitutional texts, but also the frustrated constitutional reform initiated in France. And secondly, this article analyzes the reforms made in the economic governance of the EU by means of both politicalstrategic documents - which establish the general framework and the basic governing principles - and legal provisions which develop and implement them. In this respect, this article analyzes political-strategic documents such as the Stability and Growth Pact, Europe 2020, the Euro Plus Pact; and the legal provisions of Art. 126 of the TFEU and the excessive deficit procedure; the amendment of Art. 136 of the TFEU and the European Stability Mechanism; the set of six legal instruments commonly known as "The Six Pack ": and the new reinforcing set of two legal instruments - still under discussion - commonly known as "The Two Pack ". Finally, this article analyzes also the Treaty on Stability, Coordination and Governance in the Economic and Monetary Un ion, agreed outside the framework of the EU legal system, and the recent proposals adopted by European Council of June 28- 29, 2012, concerning a new "Compact for Growth and Jobs" and the President of the European Council report "Towards a Genuine Economic and Monetary Union ".
