Political Economy of European Integration : Markets and Institutions

This volume brings together leading contributors from North America and Europe to examine a key number of aspects of the economic integration process in Europe.

It focuses on macroeconomic policy coordination, financial integration and analyzing the record of the European Monetary System.

The book utilizes an 'international political economy' approach, a rising discipline which combines elements of economics and political science.

Thus the approach views the process of European integration as the result of interaction between national economic policies and international regimes.
