International Financial Market

Topic:

The European sovereign debt crisis was a major focus for international financial markets during 2010-2013. Economies fell into recession and financial market volatility was high. Critically analyze how the government debt problems initially faced by a few relatively small economies could trigger such a wide impact in financial markets.

Important

The essay must be strongly focused on the impact on financial markets, not on other aspects of the European sovereign debt crisis. You could consider the impact of the crisis on bond markets and foreign exchange. Contagion is an important theme.

The essay must include some theoretical content as well as practical considerations. You must demonstrate reading and research far beyond the material discussed in lectures. A minimum of ten references from academic journals is expected. Your essay will benefit significantly from the inclusion of insights from academic and practitioner research. Support your arguments with examples when appropriate.

You should ensure careful citation of all paper and electronic sources of information, and include a list of references. (The references are not included in the word count).

Word limit: 2,000 words +/- 10% (approximately 6 pages A4 1.5 spacing). You must state the word count on the cover page of your work.
