Students take on sovereign debt : cure or prevention?

Sciences Po students Marius Guerin and Tom Krauthausen join Paola Subacchi to discuss what the G20 should prioritise as the United Kingdom prepares to take the chair in 2026. Drawing on their final projects for Paola’s course on managing sovereign debt, Marius and Tom bring fresh perspectives to the question of whether policymakers should focus on fixing debt crises once they erupt, or on preventing them before they begin.
