Summary

The aim of this volume is to provide a reference guide to the contemporary challenges faced by the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU). With the goal of providing a holistic picture, the editors have brought together a multidisciplinary team of scholars specialized in economic history, economics, political sciences, and law. This combination of multidisciplinary approaches makes the book unique, as most publications on EMU take a monodisciplinary approach, while the challenges faced by EMU are arguably multifaceted and therefore require a multidisciplinary approach. The authors of the contributions in the volume have been invited to judge the state of integration in EMU, thereby in particular taking into account the decade of experiences following the Global Financial Crisis (GFC), the European sovereign debt crisis, and the responses to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
