Professor Andreas Langenohl, Leiter des Teilprojekts C 05 - Politische Sicherheit und Finanzmarktstabilität, legt ein Papier mit dem Titel "Staatsschulden und ihre Sicherheiten: Anmerkungen zur Debatte um den Grexit" vor. Rekonstruiert wird die Sicherheitsdimension der Grexit-Debatte und von Staatsschulden im weiteren Sinne. Es handelt sich dabei nicht um eine rigorose empirische Analyse der gegenwärtigen Debatte, sondern um eine theorie- und konzeptgeleitete Einschätzung der Konfliktlage rund um die Griechenland-Krise.
