    Dos historias sobre la crisis de la Eurozona han dominado los relatos académicos y populares en los últimos cinco años: 1) virtuosos países del norte de Europa frente a los derrochadores del sur, y 2) una mera extensión de la crisis bancaria de los años 2008-9 en el mercado de bonos de la Eurozona. Este artículo propone que la crisis económica es realmente una crisis geopolítica, que refleja la discordancia entre el modelo normativo de la Eurozona basado en la ideología alemana y la realidad de la heterogeneidad económica de la Eurozona.

    Over the past five years two stories about the Eurozone crisis have dominated popular and academic accounts: (1) virtuous northern countries versus profligate southern ones and (2) a simple extension of the 2008-9 banking crisis into the Eurozone bond market. This paper proposes that the economic crisis is really a geopolitical one reflecting the mismatch between the normative model for the Eurozone based on German ideology and the reality of the Eurozone’s economic heterogeneity
