Description
The often complex topic of economic unification in Europe is tackled in this co-edited volume. Focusing particularly on the issues facing smaller countries on the continent, "Joining Europe's Monetary Club" should provide insights into the impact which European monetary union (EMU) has had on each country's national agenda. The collection offers a detailed analysis of preparations for EMU membership in nine countries, and reveals the importance of monetary mergence as a policy instrument at the national level. Together the essays aim to show how the success of EMU depends as much upon how well it serves national objectives, as upon how much it benefits the whole of Europe. Given the wide diversity of institutions across member states, this text is for anyone interested in knowing whether EMU will happen, and if so, how successful it will be. It is suitable for departments of economics, politics, and European studies.
