But time is working against them two speed Europe is driving member countries further apart. Greece is heading towards disorderly default and or devaluation with incalculable consequences.

According to data provided by the administering Power, from January to December 2004, 1,760 persons were arrested for minor offences, such as those related to liquor, disorderly conduct and immigration violations.

To avert a disorderly fall, short term macroeconomic management requires officially engineered depreciation through administrative methods and restraints on external borrowing. A depreciated rupee should help revive Indian exports and lift growth.

About 800 billion of China s foreign exchange reserves are invested in euro denominated assets. A disorderly default, and the resulting downward pressure on the euro, would unavoidably cause Chinese investments to lose value.

Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.

This leads directly to the third unsolved problem What happens if a country is unwilling or unable to keep within agreed conditions? Inability to issue eurobonds could result in a disorderly default or devaluation.

At the beginning of the exciting annual meeting of the Conservative Party, Theresa May's plan was attacked again by two former cabinet ministers, including former Foreign Secretary Johnson who said Theresa May's plan was disorderly .

Unfortunately, the main advanced economies are following a divergent path which, in some cases, will lead them in the opposite direction in 2011. As a result, the risks of debt deflation and eventual disorderly sovereign and private sector defaults are rising.

And while the damage from disorderly exchange rate behaviour has been limited for those economies, this has not been the case for debtor developing countries, which depend more heavily on trade and whose borrowing profile exposes them to greater currency risk.

A public commitment of this magnitude should help calm the disorderly scramble for Europe. Asylum seekers provided with a clear status and promises of safety could be induced to wait in Turkey and other frontline countries, rather than risk a dangerous Mediterranean crossing.

Europe s leaders are now contemplating what to do, and their next move will have fateful consequences, either calming the markets or driving them to new extremes. All agree that Greece needs an orderly restructuring, because a disorderly default could cause a eurozone meltdown.

A few years ago, there was worry about the risk of a disorderly unwinding of global imbalances. The current crisis can be viewed as part of that, but little is being done about the underlying problems that gave rise to these imbalances.

Even a disorderly regime transition, however traumatic and chaotic in the short term, could yield a system that, on balance, is an improvement over a stagnant, repressive, and corrupt autocracy. Indonesia s new democracy may be imperfect, but has thrived despite its initial poor prospects.

But, rather than calling the UN into question, states are likely to find that they need such a global instrument, with its unique convening and legitimizing powers. While the UN system is far from perfect, the world would be a poorer and more disorderly place without it.

It should be recognized that a disorderly default or exit from the eurozone, even by a small country like Greece, would precipitate a banking crisis comparable to the one that caused the Great Depression. It is no longer a question whether it is worthwhile to have a common currency.

So, even if these countries were to implement the necessary fiscal and structural reforms, an increase of official resources would nonetheless be needed. Because nervous investors don t want to be last in line in case of a run, a disorderly rush to the exits is likely when official resources are insufficient.

Barring a disorderly breakup of the eurozone, which seems unlikely, the International Monetary Fund s baseline forecast of 4 annual growth in world trade for 2012 seems reasonable. That would be subpar relative to the 6.4 growth trend from 1994 to 2011, but nowhere near the collapse recorded during 2008 2009.

Given the government s proven capacity to intervene, the default option during a crisis has been to rely on administrative measures rather than on market forces. To allow disorderly self correction by markets would require confidence at all levels of governance, from the central government to village administrations, and among SOEs.

That way, formal haircuts on the face value of debt can be avoided via new bonds that include only a maturity extension and an interest rate cap that is set below today s unsustainable market rates. Waiting to restructure unsustainable debts would only lead to disorderly workouts and severe haircuts for some private creditors.

In the next few months, it will become clear whether European policymakers can compromise and implement reforms that dampen the threat of a eurozone breakup. Either the EU moves in the direction of a more stable equilibrium of closer integration, or the risk of an unstable and disorderly breakup scenario will rise significantly.

The prospect of a disorderly fiscal contraction needs to give way to a more rationally designed approach that avoids undermining the fragile recovery. To accomplish that, the political class must avoid the bickering that almost sent America back into recession in 2011, and that raised major questions about the quality of the country s economic governance.

When incomprehension no longer produces new heights of prosperity, but rather economic collapse and failure, it is not surprising that it turns to anger. Finding out who is to blame becomes more and more like the late medieval and early modern search for witches a way of making sense of a disorderly and hostile universe.

The crisis was always about much more than Greece a disorderly insolvency there would threaten to pull other economies on the EU s southern periphery, including some very big ones, into the fiscal abyss, along with major European banks and insurers. That could plunge the global economy into another financial crisis, delivering a shock equivalent to the autumn of 2008.

Clearly, the eurozone s muddle through approach no longer works. Unless the eurozone moves toward greater economic, fiscal, and political integration (on a path consistent with short term restoration of growth, competitiveness, and debt sustainability, which are needed to resolve unsustainable debt and reduce chronic fiscal and external deficits), recessionary deflation will certainly lead to a disorderly break up.

Fortunately, despite having lagged rather than led this process of consequential (and increasingly disorderly) global change, it is not too late for policymakers to catch up. But doing so requires more than just better national policymaking in Europe and America it is also time for urgent and deep reform of the multilateral system and its main institutions.

The muddle through scenario with financing provided to member states in distress (conditional on fiscal adjustment and structural reforms), in the hope that they are illiquid but solvent is an unstable disequilibrium. Indeed, it could lead to the disorderly breakup scenario if institutional reforms and other policies leading to closer integration and restoration of growth in the eurozone s periphery are not implemented soon.

But if the US does use the inflation tax as a way to reduce the real value of its public debt, the risk of a disorderly collapse of the US dollar would rise significantly. America s foreign creditors would not accept a sharp reduction in their dollar assets real value that debasement of the dollar via inflation and devaluation would entail.

To prevent a disorderly outcome in the eurozone, today s fiscal austerity should be much more gradual, a growth compact should complement the EU s new fiscal compact, and a fiscal union with debt mutualization (Eurobonds) should be implemented. In addition, a full banking union, starting with eurozone wide deposit insurance, should be initiated, and moves toward greater political integration must be considered, even as Greece leaves the eurozone.

The list of such currency movements which so far has included the euro's 25 fall against the dollar, a record low for the Mexican peso, and disorderly depreciations of the Brazilian real and other emerging economy currencies is getting longer by the day. Even healthy economies like South Korea are keen to weaken their currencies, leaving the US alone in its willingness to tolerate significant currency appreciation.

NEW YORK After the Greek and Irish crises and the spread of financial contagion to Portugal, Spain, and possibly even Italy, the eurozone is now in a serious crisis. There are three possible scenarios muddle through, based on the current approach of lend and pray break up, with disorderly debt restructurings and possible exit of weaker members and greater integration, implying some form of fiscal union.

For starters, the economy is not yet in a position to handle the 4 5 of GDP fiscal cliff that is approaching as all of the hard political decisions that were postponed come into view at the end of this year. The prospect of a disorderly fiscal contraction needs to give way to a more rationally designed approach that avoids undermining the fragile recovery.

Greece is currently too interconnected to be allowed to collapse since it has about 400 billion of public debt three quarters of which is held abroad, mostly by European financial institutions a disorderly default would lead to massive losses and risk a systemic crisis. Moreover, the contagion to the sovereign spreads of the other PIIGS would be massive, tipping over several of these economies.

To prevent a disorderly outcome in the eurozone, today s fiscal austerity should be much more gradual, a growth compact should complement the EU s new fiscal compact, and a fiscal union with debt mutualization (Eurobonds) should be implemented. nbsp In addition, a full banking union, starting with eurozone wide deposit insurance, should be initiated, and moves toward greater political integration must be considered, even as Greece leaves the eurozone.

Just as China resisted the temptation of renminbi depreciation during the Asian financial crisis of 1997 98 a decision that may have played a pivotal role in arresting regional contagion it must stay the course today. That is all the more important in a disorderly climate of QE, where China's role as a currency anchor may take on even greater importance than it did in the late 1990s.

Rather than exhibiting enlightened leadership, Western policymakers have consistently lagged realities on the ground, with a bewildering mixture of denial, misdiagnosis, and bickering undermining their responses. Rather than proceeding in an orderly manner, today's global changes are being driven by the disorderly forces of de leveraging emanating from a Europe in deep financial crisis and an America seemingly unable to restore sustained high rates of GDP growth and job creation.

But, instead of reversing the disorderly deleveraging and encouraging new private investments, this official financing has merely shifted liabilities from the private sector to the public sector. Moreover, many emerging market countries have noted that the policy conditionality attached to the tens of billions of dollars that have been shipped to Europe pales in comparison with what was imposed on them in the 1990 s and early 2000 s.

Data from the US, the United Kingdom, the periphery of the eurozone, Japan, and even emerging market economies is signaling that part of the global economy especially advanced economies may be stalling, if not dropping into a double dip recession. Global risk aversion has also increased, as the option of further extend and pretend or delay and pray on Greece is becoming less desirable, and the specter of a disorderly workout is becoming more likely.

The eurozone s current muddle through approach is an unstable disequilibrium kicking the can down the road, and throwing good money after bad, will not work. Either the eurozone moves toward a different equilibrium greater economic, fiscal, and political integration, with policies that restore growth and competitiveness, including orderly debt restructurings and a weaker euro or it will end up with disorderly defaults, banking crises, and eventually a break up of the monetary union.
