| dc.description.abstract | This thesis will search for grounds of justification for some of the unconventional policies from
the European Central Bank, from an interdisciplinary perspective. From an economic
perspective, the context in which the ECB operates will be described, followed by an evaluation
on the unconventional policy of quantitative easing. The discipline of international relations will
take a closer look at the case study in which the ECB pressured fiscal reforms in Italy during the
Euro Crisis of 2012. A moral framework for the justification for the policies mentioned above,
will be provided by the ethical discipline. The conclusion of this thesis will be based in the value
of well-being, from the perspective of the Member States of the Eurozone. The different effects
of the ECB policies on the well-being of the member states is therefore decisive for the
justification of the ECB policies. | |
