註釋English Abstract: Germany is the country that has drawn the most advantages both from the introduction of the euro and of the ongoing economic crisis. The euro transformed Germany gradually to an geoeconomic power and the economic crisis transmitted to Germany the status of an hegemonic power. Hence, a possible collapse of the Eurozone would make the country a primary victim (Crome: 2012). However, the current strategy followed by Germany intensifies the Risks in Relation with the Cohesion of the EU. Concretely under the strict pressure of Germany the southern countries of the Eurozone were subordinated to strict fiscal adjustment programs that unfortunately leads internally to an obvious fragmentation of political forces and high liquidity in the political landscape. Especially in Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal powerful and stable governments belongs to an romantic, thought controversial past. At the same time 'antisystemic' rhetoric diffused everywhere and the corresponding political forces are on the rise. A growing centrifugal tendency to the German policy expressed in all countries of the South, but mainly in Italy, Greece and France but also in northern countries like Great Britain. The euro rescue can not be done by hegemony but only through cooperation. The policy mix that imposed by Germany can not succeed in long-term, because both necessary to provide greater liquidity in quantitative easing and a more interventionist policy mix (which) will help the EU to emerge from recession. In this sense the US Government of Obama have a more rational approach to developments, considering that the real danger is a domino in the global economy (the so-called systemic risk) and not that an relaxation of the frame supposedly results in an alleged irresponsible behavior (the so-called moral hazard). Consequently the greater the American presence, so greater will be the relativizing of the (mild) German force. Those therefore that imagine a new and long period of German hegemony should first weigh up the role of US and of other historic resources in relation with the nation state in the European political and civic tradition and how easy is a new diversion to a nationalistic Europe. Indeed the EU as established institutions since 1950 and opposes preclude a hegemonic policy. Informal efforts to implement such a policy stumble at the end on the rules and institutions of European integration. If the EU was an attempt to resolve peacefully and within the legal institutions, those conflicts between states that previously resolved in the trenches of war, then today it is the political conflict to continue. Therefore today exists immediately the need for a mobilization of the political will of the European Leadership to continue the Process of European Integration. In this context, Germany can only play the role of an hegemonic power, if his political Elites enrich their policy with a reduced scale of Austerity and with a real Dimension of Social Solidarity and Subsidiary. In any case, it is beneficial to understand for all sides that the economic crisis threatens to become a crisis of legitimacy of capitalism in his existing form. The task today is to reform capitalism through social humanization of it.
