Overview

This considers the way in which the European Union has affected autonomy in macroeconomic policy-making of the member states. It begins with an introduction to economic ideas, and explores current themes surrounding monetary and fiscal policy and European integration, including economic policy co-ordination, objectives in national policy-making and motivations for participating in the European Monetary System. The book constantly returns to the crucial question: have the pressures emanating from the European Union had a greater impact on state autonomy than wider international or domestic pressures from influential business groups or bankers?
