  • National Currencies And The Euro
    1,390 words
    The liberalization of trade is a historical phenomenon, which goes back a long way. Never before has any regional grouping made up of sovereign countries succeeded in taking economic integration as far as the European Union has done. Customs duties between European countries started to come down steadily in the early 1950's and disappeared entirely in 1968 with the introduction of a customs union and the implementation of the common external tariff. The official proclamation of the single market...

  • Single European Currency Zone
    1,432 words

This fundamental political i...

  • Dollars To Euros
    3,565 words
    In Europe, the debut of the euro is widely hailed as the most important event affecting the international monetary landscape since the breakup of the Bretton Woods System in 1971 to 1973, or since the Bretton Woods Agreement in 1944, or maybe even since the founding of the Federal Reserve System in 1913. It has become a contest for European officials and commentators to see who can push the analogy back furthest in time. Eminences elsewhere in the world have similarly greeted the euro with high ...

It is a process grounded in the positive values with which our civilization identifies - the preservation of peace, economic and social progress, respect for the person and the predominance of right over might - and, over nearly 50 years for which the process has been under way, there have been some moments of crisis but also major successes. Six countries originally rallied to the con...
  • Debate About The Euro In Britain
    3,131 words
    The debate about the euro in Britain has changed dramatically since the introduction of euro notes and coins on 1 January 2002. This shift should give pro-Europeans every confidence that a referendum on the single currency can be won. Consequently, it has already left anti-Europeans appearing disheartened and disoriented. This historic changeover to the euro was obviously a profound change for the 300 million citizens of the twelve European Union countries that adopted the currency. It was a rev...

It also forces EU states to adopt responsible economic policies that contain inflation and increase real living standards. ...

  • Britain Into The Euro
    1,371 words
    Assess the arguments for and against a single European currency Britain has always been the troublesome partner in the relation with the rest of Europe, whether it is because of the indecisiveness shown in the leaders involved with the Union such as the refusal to enter in the initial stages or because of Margaret Thatcher's reluctance to co-operate if decisions were not in Britain's best interest. In 1969 Britain finally became a member of the European Economic Community after being vetoed twic...
