From the paper:
? In 1969, the European summit at The Hague made EMU an official objective. In 1970, the Werner report proposed a plan that would unite the economies and monies of Europe over a ten-year period. However, the plan was tabled because of several economic factors, including the oil shortage, weakness of the U.S. dollar, and divergent economic policies around the world. The plan resurfaced in 1979 when the European Monetary System (EMS) was created.?

Abstract
A paper which introduces, discusses and analyzes the history, benefits, costs, and challenges of the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) and the Euro. The paper also includes a critical assessment of the sources used.
From the Paper
"On the other hand, the Internet resources tended to be much more biased and less reliable than the texts that were used. The Euro web site only presents the positive aspects of switching currencies, and the news reports tend to show the negatives of the switch. The texts were more balanced and uniform in their discussion, and in their handling of both positive and negative issues involved in the treaties, and with the Euro itself. Often it was not clear what background the Internet authors had to write about their topics, and sources used were mostly interviews, not written or scholarly sources. The Internet sources serve a purpose, but basing a report on those sources alone could bias the report if the writer did not recognize and overcome the bias."

Abstract
This paper examines how the subsequent launch of the Euro and the move toward dollarization has prompted debate as to Canada's potential involvement in such a union with the United States. It attempts to prove how under a common currency, the costs to Canada would prevail over the benefits and such a step would be detrimental to aspects of Canadian economics, society, politics and culture.
From the Paper
"It is an advantage for Canada to have control over its monetary policy for several reasons. By increasing the money supply, the Bank of Canada can lower interest rates, which lowers the exchange rate. As mentioned above, flexible exchange rates adjust to falling export prices and in so doing, reduce unemployment. Even if the Bank of Canada does, for the most part, tend to follow suit with the Federal Reserve Bank's interest rate decisions; it is doing so by choice because it is deemed that this is in Canada's best interest. It is comforting to know that when extenuating circumstances arise, decisions on monetary policy ultimately rest with the Bank of Canada, which is primarily concerned with the wellbeing of Canada."

Abstract
This paper defines and discusses in detail the concepts and ideas of the single European Market. The paper analyzes the European Monetary System (EMS). The paper explains that the EMS came about after several attempts to stabilize exchange rates among members of the European community. In time, the European Community developed a plan to introduce a single currency into the market, the Euro. The paper presents a literature review on this topic.
From the Paper
"According to a book entitled ?The European Monetary System and European Monetary Union? the single European Market is a product of what began as the European Community of 1978 (Fratianni and Von Hagen). The book explains that the European Monetary System (EMS) was designed to be a single European monetary system (Fratianni and Von Hagen). The authors assert that the EMS was designed in an effort to ?strengthen the coordination of monetary and economic policies among the members of the Community, to stabilize exchange rates, and to take a new step on the road of monetary unification in Europe (Fratianni and Von Hagen).?"

The European Monetary Union, 2005.

Abstract
This paper explains that the future of the the European Monetary Union (EMU) is questionable because the leaders of the EMU and the world have some grave doubts as to its future; however, there is a never-ending stream of applications of new nations, mostly from Eastern Europe, wishing to join. The author points out that the problems revolve around the issues of (1) determining the size of the role of the welfare state; (2) the conflict about monetary policies, led by the United Kingdom and (3) corruption within member nations. The paper suggest that the resolution of the welfare issues through such mechanisms as a community's insurance is unlikely given (1) the cost, (2) the risk factors, (3) the macro-economic factors and (4) the failure of some of the countries already within the EMU to resolve their own individual country's welfare issues.

From the Paper
"Developments towards more segmented welfare states or dual welfare states are likely, although national governments may still maintain regulatory and taxation tools to control the growth of market based and other non-governmental welfare provisions in such a way that universal access to quality welfare provision and relatively equal distributions of income and welfare is possible. This will remain domestic policy issues and choices for which national governments to a large extent can be held politically accountable. But the social and political bases for state organized solidarity. Likewise, new forms of solidarity may develop on a trans-national or trans-regional basis where state boundaries will to a lesser extent than before constrain or limit such solidarity from developing."

Abstract
A single currency in NAFTA has been an issue that has become more frequent today in North America. In determining whether this is a good decision or not it is important to review the pros and cons of having a single currency. This paper analyzes what might be the impact if the nations of the North American Free Trade Agreement were to launch a monetary union policy. The paper also discusses the advantages and disadvantages for each nation and its impact on the economy. Graphs are provided where relevant.
From the Paper
"Some of the Canadian politicians like Courchene and Harris have argued that if Canada creates a monetary union with the United States it would "reduce transaction costs, that is how much it costs to make a certain trade in terms of time. These costs are incurred because of border-related paperwork and the use of two currencies that fluctuate in value against each other. A monetary union would relieve companies of these costs, reduce the paperwork and offer a more stable macro-economic environment allowing for more accurate calculation of profit margins." According to the above statements and research it is apparent that a single currency would be beneficial to MNEs in NAFTA in many different ways especially in terms of financial costs."

Abstract
This study attempts to illustrate how Greece has influenced the European Union by examining specific major events and structural guidelines that are not just regional considerations but have world wide implications. This examination takes place in the light of how the Greeks, in particular, have seen their presence in the union shape and sway the both the look and direction of the body. The specific areas of analysis include the enlargement processes of 1995 and 2004, the Greek influence on European Monetary Union (EMU) and an examination of how Greece has affected the European Union's Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) specifically during the U.S. war in Iraq and the resulting differences that occurred amongst the EU member states. In addition, the study analyzes the specific impact of the term of the Greek presidency within the EU briefly and as it related to the U.S. war in Iraq in 2003. As the facts are presented and examined, the paper makes it clear how the Greek nation has had a measurable influence on the membership, policy and direction of the EU and provide an insight into what lasting impact has been left by the Children of Hellas.

"The first setting that must be provided is a short history. This is done to properly contextualize the role played by Greece since the signing of the Maastricht Treaty and provides some basic information about the history and development of the EU. This brief historical look at the evolution of the European Union is not meant to be exhaustive instead the information is simply included to provide the reader with a feel for the methodology by which the union has taken shape. It is helpful to note at this point that the formation of the European Union is dramatically different than the formation of the United States but references are made to the so-called 'United States of Europe.' Where applicable, this statement will be elaborated upon and clarified as necessary."

Abstract
Britain first joined the European Union (E.U.) in 1973, with the support of the majority of the British public. However, since then the public has become increasingly sceptical towards the E.U. This paper assesses Britain's relationship with the E.U., both past and present and attempts to account for the reasons behind the relationship and attitudes towards the E.U. (both from a political and social view). It looks at the extent to which the policies of the three main UK political parties and the U.K. Independence Party (UKIP) indicate that they want Britain to be at the heart of the E.U. It also discusses the views of the British public towards issues such as the E.U. Constitution and the Euro.

Britain Does Not Want to be at the Heart of the EU
Conclusion
Justification of Research Methods
From the Paper
"Compared to other member states, there is a very low level of support for the EU in Britain. The 2002 survey by Eurobarometer survey found that 32% of the British public supported EU membership, while 27% of the population was against it. The level of support is much lower than in countries such as Luxembourg - where 81% of the population supports EU membership and only 3% opposes it - and Germany, where 52% support membership of the EU, while only 9% of the population is opposed to membership. The level of support in Britain is also much lower than the EU average; 53% of people in the 15 member states support their countries' membership of the EU and only 11% are opposed to it . "

From the Paper
"According to Rodney Leach online, a number of European leaders became convinced that the only way to secure a lasting peace between their countries was to unite them economically and politically. The French Foreign Minister proposed integrating the coal and steel industries of Western Europe. As a result, the European Coal and Steel Community, ECSC, was established. The member countries were Belgium, West Germany, Luxembourg, France, Italy and the Netherlands."

"Expanding Europe
From the European Coal and Steel Community to the European Union
The growth of the European Union over half a century has been a curiously bifurcated process. On the one hand, it has been gradual and incremental. Its course of development began modestly with the formation of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) in 1952 (Dinan, 1999, pp. 1-2). As the name suggests, the scope of the ECSC's activities was limited to the coal and steel industries. Its geographical scope was considerably more limited than "European" might suggest, since it then embraced only Germany, France, Italy, and the three "Benelux" countries of Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg."
