With euro banknotes and coins starting to circulate as of January 2002, this timely book comes at a crucial juncture for the European Union. Exploring the origins of and progress toward the introduction of the euro, the contributors focus on the importance of economic and monetary union (EMU) as part of the larger process of European integration. Thus, chapters consider the value and limits of a range of theoretical approaches for understanding economic and monetary integration, the pros and cons of EMU's institutional design, and country-specific experiences. With an international group of leading scholars representing a range of disciplines, this book offers a broad perspective on the dynamics of EMU.
An accomplished set of papers that span a range of theoretical perspectives and together provide a novel and useful commentary on one of the most intriguing developments in the international political economy—European monetary union. -- Kathleen R. McNamara, Princeton University
A worthy contribution to the understanding of European integration in general and EMU in particular. * German Politics *
A broad and accessible introduction to the EMU maze that guides us through contending theories and evaluates their relevance. The authors give expert, often iconoclastic, critiques to inspire us on our journey. Policy experts and academic analysts alike will benefit from reading this volume, while students and the lay reader will find it readily opens up the maze to them as well. -- Kevin Featherstone, University of Bradford
