The global financial crisis of 2007–2009 shattered many ideas and beliefs regarding the international political economy, and regional and global governance. Boom and bust have not disappeared; developed countries can be hit harder than emerging and developing markets, and the G20 has become the key forum to discuss global economic issues. Even though as of 2012 economic growth has resumed in most parts of the world, the looming public debt crisis in the eurozone and the need to rebalance the global economy indicate that the post-crisis world will undoubtedly look different. Two of the regions where the effects of the crisis have been felt strongly are the European Union (EU) and East Asia.
