'Slouching Towards Frankfurt to be Born: The Progress of EMU After Maastricht'

摘要

This paper examines the nature and origins of the Maastricht bargain on EMU, shows how France and Germany successfully navigated the treaty through its ratification crisis. examines the effects the various EMS crises have had on the solidity of the Paris-Bonn axis, and discusses domestic factors within France and Germany that might threaten the commitment of either government to uphold the Maastricht bargain.
