Transatlantic perspectives on the euro

"This volume, the fourth in the U.S.-EU Relations Project series of the European Community Studies Association, concentrates on the ramifications of the euro for transatlantic relations. Two of the foremost analysts of monetary integration - C. Randall Henning and Pier Carlo Padoan - explore whether monetary union will lead to cooperation or rivalry between the United States and Europe by examining the political, economic, and institutional interests of these two principal actors.

Drawing on perspectives from both sides of the Atlantic, Henning and Padoan have presented an unusually comprehensive and perceptive pair of analyses of the potentials and pitfalls of EMU in the context of U.S.-EU relations."--BOOK JACKET.
