Abstract
The theme of this conference is the euro as a stabilizing force in the international economic system. The subject can be approached from the outside, that is, the point of view of other currencies as well as the links with a new organization of the International Monetary System (IMS). This is effectively the approach chosen by the majority of the contributions. Or else one could take an internal perspective by examining how the organization and the functioning of the European Union (EU) could help fostering the international role of the euro given that the latter benefits from the strength of the European economy as well as from the external strategy of the European political union. This is the approach adopted here.
