The European Economic and Monetary Union comprises twelve member
states and forms a currency area of considerable size and, until
now, remarkable stability. Still, however, discussion is going on
whether it can survive as an institution providing the highest
degree of monetary integration which is a single monetary policy
for a group of member countries with divergent economic
performance. It is also questioned whether it can withstand
financial crises in international markets and contribute to the
stability of the global financial system. The book addresses these
questions with special emphasis on the need for new forms of
economic policy coordination.
Social policy in East and West finds itself today in the middle of
a fundamental transition. The former communist countries of Central
and Eastern Europe and the successor states to the former Soviet
Union are attempting to create the institutions needed for a modern
market economy and a modern democratic welfare state. At the same
time, the mature welfare states of Europe are struggling to solve
the contemporary financial crisis of their systems of social
entitlements. Because of fundamental economic and demographic
trends, these systems will become increasingly difficult to sustain
over the coming decades. The contributors overwhelmingly agree that
it would be mistaken policy to simply copy the institutions of
Western welfare states to the eastern economies in transition.
Instead one can learn much from the experience gathered over the
past half century in Western welfare states.
