Abstract: | In this paper we provide an overview on recent contributions on the effectiveness of the institutional framework operating
in Europe to fulfil the objectives declared in the Lisbon Agenda under the fiscal constraints established in the Stability
and Growth Pact. After a review of the Stability and Growth Pact as well as the Lisbon Strategy and the Sapir Report, we discuss
the relations between fiscal policy and structural reform. Finally, we focus on 2D points in the EU debate on institutional
reforms: government short-sightedness and the coordination of national fiscal policies at the European level.
