Book cover The Making of the European Union

Part of the book series: European and Transatlantic Studies ((EUROPEANSTUDIES))

Abstract

The launching of the Single European Currency marked the culmination of the Maastricht Treaty that established the European Union. In recent years, the ‘Euro’ has been given priority in the European integration process, vindicating the arguments — at least for the moment — of those who propound the functionalist and gradualist approach. We must, however, ask whether economic and monetary union (the ‘Maastricht-Euro model’) will really re-launch political union.(1) As Delors aptly summarised the matter: ‘For some, the Euro will create such a dragging effect that problems concerning political union will automatically be solved. For others, including myself, the Euro will not suffice to put new life into the whole European project.’(2)
