The tranquility of the European Union's transition to the euro in 1999 contrasted dramatically with the preceding tumultuous decades of exchange rate crises and political upheavals. But have the EU member states in fact converged sufficiently to make monetary union a stable alternative? Or is EMU an institutional lid on a simmering pot of diverse economies, in which tensions are building to a future blowup? And if the latter, what can be done to remedy the situation? Arguing that EMU is disproportionately socially expensive for many of the present and potential member states, Tal Sadeh's rigorous analysis focuses on the problematic implications of the EU's economic and political diversity. Sadeh is particularly concerned with the domestic structural and institutional reforms that will be necessary to sustain EMU. Codice articolo 0077161

Riassunto:

Inquiring into the stability of the 1999 Union, Sadeh (political science, Tel Aviv U.) puts a political and economic price tag on currency unions in general and on the European Monetary Union in particular, and suggests institutional reforms that would lower this price. He assumes readers to be acquainted with simple statistical analysis as taught in undergraduate courses on research methods in the social sciences, but even so relegates equations and the like to boxes and just explains the results in the text.
