4. Dissertation Topic
"Explaining the European Monetary Union’s external governance: institutional origins and development"
Abstract
The third stage of the Economic and Monetary Union of the European Union (EMU) in 1999 marked a momentous change in the history of European integration. By introducing a common currency and a single monetary policy at the European level, EMU significantly changed the rules, institutions and practises of economic governance. The majority of the political science literature dealing with EMU’s creation and operation focuses on the currency union’s internal dimension. The currency union’s relations with the international monetary system and international financial institutions are mostly sidelined, and none of the seminal accounts of EMU’s emergence takes the external governance dimension as a key explanandum. The overarching aim of the PhD project is to take an outward perspective on EMU and to provide an explanation for its external governance – with a dual focus on the institutional origins and its evolution in the ten years of its existence. The project’s guiding research question is: Why were the internal rules, institutions and practices of EMU not matched with a corresponding external governance framework at the time of its creation, and why has the set-up not been amended since then? The research predominantly consists in archival research of official documents and expert interviews with relevant European and national actors from the creation and operation phase.
