Reviews

This collection should be of interest to all those concerned with the viability and implications of the euro changeover, as well as with the broader theoretical issues posed by this extraordinary historical experience. The book is intended to contribute to existing scholarship and to encourage future academic work, but it is also designed to be fully accessible and broadly informative for readers outside conventional academic circles who are interested in Europe's experience with currency union. -- Abstracts of Public Administration, Development and Environment (2006)


"""This collection should be of interest to all those concerned with the viability and implications of the euro changeover, as well as with the broader theoretical issues posed by this extraordinary historical experience. The book is intended to contribute to existing scholarship and to encourage future academic work, but it is also designed to be fully accessible and broadly informative for readers outside conventional academic circles who are interested in Europe's experience with currency union."" —Abstracts of Public Administration, Development and Environment ""The euro has quickly become a world currency, and this excellent work explains how this came about. It does the job, not only by looking at the economic factors involved, but also at political, legal, social, and cultural factors—all in a very creative and readable manner."" —Richard Swedberg, Cornell University ""If the nineteenth and twentieth centuries brought a dramatic nationalization of government-backed currencies across the world, does the euro's introduction in 2002 write finis to the era of nationalism? Here, superbly informed observers of European politics, economy, and social life debate that question from multiple perspectives, not only documenting the depth of the euro's challenge, but also mapping alternative futures for Europe. An illuminating intervention in a vital conversation."" —Viviana A. Zelizer, Lloyd Cotsen '50 Professor of Sociology, Princeton University ""This is one of the most interesting and original books in the burgeoning field of EU studies to have emerged in recent years. Its emphasis on the likely social and cultural—not just political and economic—impact of the euro at the national, subnational, and supranational levels is timely and refreshing. Tightly edited, this book should be essential reading for professional and amateur EU-watchers alike."" —Desmond Dinan, Jean Monnet Professor of Public Policy, George Mason University"
