Abstract
The paper introduces, discusses and analyzes the benefits, costs and challenges of the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) and the euro. Included is a critical assessment of past policies and proposals to remedy the current or potential future problems.
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
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
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 COMING OF THE EURO & ITS POTENTIAL EFFECTS ON THE US$
Background on the Issue
European monetary union has been envisioned since the founding of the European Community (EC). The creation of the European Monetary System (EMS) represented a major step toward eventual monetary union. It was not until the ratification of the Treaty of Maastricht, however, that specific criteria for full participation by an EC member nation in EMU were adopted (?From Here to EMU,? 1995).
Monetary union is a component of the regional integration of nations. The fourth level of such integration is economic union, which includes the adding of monetary and fiscal harmonization among member countries to the common market system. The final level of regional integration, political .."

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."

From the Paper
"This research considers the impact of recent developments related to European unity on the single European currency, the Ecu (European Currency Unit). The Ecu exists and is used in international settlements between members of the European Monetary System (EMS) and in some private settlements; however, the Ecu has not replaced the national currencies of the member states of the European Community (EC).
In the summer of 1978, the member countries of the EC agreed to the formation of the EMS, and the organization became a functional reality in March 1979. While the United Kingdom (UK) was a member of the EMS from its inception, it was not a participant in the major function of the system..exchange rate management, which involves operation of the exchange rate mechanism (ERM), throughout most of the organizational existence of the EMS. UK participation in the ERM did not begin until October 1990. Upon joining the EC, Greece, Portugal, and Spain also became members of the EMS. Of these three countries, however, only Spain participates in the ERM.
Formation of the EMS was given impetus by three major concerns in the late.1970s. First..."

From the Paper
"According to the European Central Bank the objective of monetary policy is "to maintain price stability" which is set out in the Treaty establishing the European Community. Stated is: "Without prejudice to the objective of price stability" the Eurosystem will also "support the general economic policies in the Community with a view to contributing to the achievement of the objectives of the Community." (ECB, 2007) This is to include a "high level of employment" as well as "sustainable and non-inflationary growth". (ECB, 2007) The provisions of the Treaty illustrate the consensus that: (1) the benefits of price stability are of a substantial nature; and (2) the natural role of the monetary policy in the economy is to maintain price stability. (ECB, 2007; paraphrased)"

Abstract
This paper discusses the Coca Cola crisis in Belgium, when school children became ill from drinking Coca Cola and thus began a corporate nightmare in which the company performed a textbook example of how not to handle a crisis. This paper traces the Coca-Cola company?s handling of the crisis and concludes with a suggested revision of how it should have been handled.

From the Paper
"Coca Cola?s apparent reaction was to investigate rapidly what could have caused the contamination. The investigation centered on the two Coca-Cola bottling plants in Belgium, which are owned by Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. (CCE.N), the largest bottler of Coke products in the world, a company which is 40 percent owned by the Coca-Cola Company. By Tuesday, June 15, company investigators working with French and Belgian authorities reported that there was a belief that faulty carbon dioxide at Coke's factory in Antwerp, Belgium and fungicide on pallets used to transport the drinks from Dunkirk to Belgium may have contaminated the drinks in question."

Abstract
This paper presents the evidence that suggests that there was a population crisis in Europe pre-1348. It then discusses if the high mortality levels during the Black Death were partly as a result of that crisis. It specifically explores whether, despite nearly a century of declining growth, the overall trend of rising people numbers triggered raised mortality rates per population.
From the Paper
"Therefore, as has been stated throughout, there was, undeniably, a population crisis pre-1348. The debate remains, however, as to what form this took. The weight of evidence seems to show that due to a number of inter-related and cumulative factors, the European peasantry faced large mortality rates long before the Black Death. Over-population meant most peasants were inhabiting smaller plots of land, facing a consequential reduction in nourishment and ultimately, a lower standard of living. Moreover, as the population increased and marginal lands of less arable value were used, there were 'rising rents on the more arable land' and 'even poor land was going up in price' , reducing the purchasing power of the peasantry. Zvi and Fiumi are the primary detractors from this view. However, both are limited in their geographical scope and neither provides conclusive proof for the theories of increasing population up to 1348 or the benefits of thirteenth century growth. Whether the Black Death solved the population crisis is debatable, but the improving conditions for the peasantry that followed it - such as increased plots and wages - serve as a useful juxtaposition to early fourteenth century conditions; a proof that a population crisis did exist before 1348."

Abstract
This paper contains an analysis of factors, both internal and external, that caused the financial crisis in Russia in 1988. The main argument of the paper is that the main causes of the crisis originated from inside. The monetary system that the Russian government created after the fall of the USSR failed to provide a stable channel for the implementation of an adequate monetary policy. The paper shows that the banking system was ill-designed and corrupt, mainly serving as a channel for government funds to favored industries. Finally, the paper shows that the extreme usage of government debt (often for the personal benefit of the Russian officials) was the factor that shut the whole economy down. Bonds were printed like paper, which is unsustainable even in the short-run.

From the Paper
"In 1998 Russia was hit by a large-scale financial crisis. The bad news of Russian default (or payment suspension) in August 1998 was one of the primary concerns of almost all Russian and western media. The events and outcomes of the crisis were relatively similar to the ones that took place in Asia in 1997 or, more recently, in Argentina (the latter has recently defaulted on the largest government debt in history). These amounted, but were not limited to: national currency being largely devaluated, collapse of the banking system, and political unrest resulting in dramatic changes in the government."
