Description: "This fresh look at how the EMU came about challenges a number of well-established integration theories. It shows that European integration is not only the work of governments and supranational institutions but the result of more subtle processes involving the emerging European civil society. The model on the power of ideas suggested in this book is applied to the work and impact of the two NGOs but has explanatory power for the process of European integration which goes well beyond the limits of this empirical study." "This book will interest students, researchers, and policy makers with an interest in Europe and its monetary union."--Jacket.
