Abstract
This paper addresses the various issues on the top of public debate regarding the introduction of the Euro as a replacement for the current British currency of pounds. It present arguments for and againsts its introduction and examines Prime Minister Blair's position on the issue. It explains Blair's ?five economic tests? conditions that the Euro needs to pass before being introduced in Britain. It discusses how public opinions change according to social classes and concludes with a discussion on Britain's general attitude towards Europe.
From the Paper
"Whether to adopt the euro is a controversial issue in Great Britain. Public opinion sways on the subject, based on national economic and political concerns, as well as international developments. The centrist Tony Blair has cautiously backed the adoption of the Euro, but he continues to face significant opposition, from within his own Labor Party as well as from the opposition Conservative Party. While some in Great Britain support adopting the euro, many feel that adopting the currency would not be in the country?s best interest. Some feel simply that they would lose control of their economy, and consequently, their country. Others frame the argument in terms of a larger criticism of the European Union, which is often portrayed as overly bureaucratic by the British media. There are, of course, those who support the Euro, citing the long term political and economic benefits for Europe as a whole, in which Great Britain would share. And, of course, there are those who simply are not sure?a significant portion of the population."

Britain and the Euro, 2002.
A paper which argues why Britain should adopt the euro as its currency.

Abstract
This paper argues that while there are indeed risks involved, as well as certain losses in terms of national patrimony, the economic gains to be had from Britain joining the euro community outweigh these. The paper argues that even if the economic opportunities were not in and of themselves sufficient motivation, there would also be the consideration of political power. It shows that if Britain remains outside of 'euroland' it will cede more power to Germany than perhaps is wise to do, given the history of Germany imperialism in Europe. The paper gives an overall history of the euro to further understand Britain's dilemma.
From the Paper
"It has been extraordinarily successful. But the success of the euro can only be as great as the economic realities underlying each country, and while some of the European economies are in good shape others are not. And with so many different economies to balance, it is hard to imagine an historical moment during which they will all be healthy. This fact must make those in Britain considering the adoption of the euro a little concerned given that Britain?s economy may be called upon to prop up weaker ones. "

Britain and the Euro, 2002.
A discussion on whether Britain should have joined the European single currency in 1999.

Abstract
This paper explores the pros and cons of Britain joining the euro. It discusses the impact that the euro will have on the British economy, politics and business including its potential impact on interest rates, exchange rates, inflation, trade, foreign investment, jobs and national identity. It concludes with how the author believes, that for the time being, Britain should stay out of the euro since the U.K. currently has a thriving economy and joining when the effects on the euro are unknown is too risky.
From the Paper
"Currently Britain is enjoying a period of economic growth and stability which has been achieved by being able to adopt the economies appropriate to her circumstances. In particular, the setting of interest rates that are appropriate to the current economic conditions. By joining the single currency, Britain would lose control of monetary policy (interest rates, etc) to the European Central Bank in Frankfurt. Therefore in the future Britain could endure rates inappropriate to the current phase in the economic cycle. So interest rates which are suitable for one country may be unsuitable for the economy of another (i.e. one country may be in recession while another is in boom)."

Britain?s Currency Debate Over the Euro, 2005.
A discussion of likely economic and political effects of adopting the Euro as the official British currency.

Abstract
The prospect of switching Britain's official national currency to the Euro, and the related issue of whether the country should join the European Union, have certainly inspired much heated debate and a variety of viewpoints regarding possible consequences of these changes. This paper explains that the widespread prevalence, passion and diversity of the public discussion on British currency could be seen as a possible reason for the government's resistance to the Euro, in and of itself. It explains that the United Kingdom is regarded all over the world as a successful, consolidated democracy, meaning that the government represents the interests and wishes of its citizens. The writer further points out that therefore, it seems likely that until the public is assured and convinced that the Euro will result in only positive economic and political changes for both ordinary Britons and the country as a whole, the pound will continue its exclusive monopoly over the British economy for many years.
From the Paper
"The decision of Britain of whether to adopt the euro as their only currency and eliminate the pound completely has been widely debated over the last few years. There are a myriad of good reasons for this; the switch to the euro currency will undoubtedly have various consequences whose benefits and downsides are very debatable. These consequences will certainly affect several of Britain's long-established roots and traditions in aspects of its government such as the economy, of course, but also its political parties, European integration, international relations, citizen participation in the government, and public opinion. Furthermore, economic results of Britain's adoption of the euro will likely include significant modifications in taxation, trade, unemployment, price stability, interest and exchange rates, standards of living, and economic distributional policy."

Britain and the EU, 2004.
An examination of why Britain is adamantly refusing to join the EU.

Abstract
This paper explores the reasons why the nation of Great Britain is so against the European Union. It explains that Great Britain is one of the most notable hold-outs to joining the union. Great Britain has steadfastly refused to join the union or to convert its traditional currency to the Euro. This refusal to join continues and has a great deal of support among the British people.
From the Paper
"The British people take a great deal of pride in their nationality, more so than most any other nation of Europe. The British people are proud of being British. They have their national songs, their national traditions, national holidays, and national identity. This identity is wrapped up in over one thousand years worth of rich cultural history, during which time the people of the British Isles created a culture that is uniquely and easily identifiable as British. The British people, therefore, are loathe to give up this unique sense of nationality, this sense that they are unlike any other nation in the world, and adopt the common, homogenized mantle of being simple a "European nation." In fact, the British people can realistically be expected to fight strongly against joining the European Union, simply due to their strong nationalist feelings."

Abstract
In an era of rising globalisation and in a divided world under a war against terrorism, to which side of the Atlantic Britain's economic and political future is likely to tend? This paper argues that Britain is likely to remain tied up with America and will rely essentially on the latter to determine its international position, especially if the U.K. does not manage to rehabilitate its credibility in continental Europe as a reliable partner and supporter of close co-operation.
Outline:
Britain's Constant Efforts to Privilege Its "Special Relationship" With the U.S.
The U.K.'s Historical Distinctiveness From the Continent
Political Pragmatism as a Constant in British Politics
The Emphasis on the 'Special Relationship' as the Pillar of U.K.-U.S. Military and Security Cooperation
Britain Facing European Issues of the Euro and the European Treaty: Britain At Crossroads With Europe
Britain's Political Class's Inability to Overcome Schisms on the Question of Europe
Britain Out of "Euro-Land"
The European Treaty and Britain's Vital Choice
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Nevertheless, within the process of decolonisation, the UK was faced with the dismantling of its colonial empire. The association of former dominions within the Commonwealth did not manage to make Britain's trade with former colonies flourish. Moreover, in the context of the Cold War, Britain had to realise its incapacities to intervene militarily in the world without the support and assent of the U.S.: this was the case when the Anglo-French expedition in Suez failed in 1956, making the 'special relationship' with the U.S. more unbalanced. Finally, facing the importance of its relative economic decline, the UK had to take into account the fact that most of its international trade was alimented by and with Europe. Indeed, Jones and Kavanagh recall that already in 1875, the UK's trade with Europe constituted 51% of the national GDP (JONES & KAVANAGH, 1998: 226). "

Abstract
This paper recounts the role that Canadian pilots played in the Battle of Britain, helping the Royal Air Force achieve victory over the Luftwaffe. The paper praises their accomplishments and bravery. It illustrates how the Canadians were a major factor in Britain's victory. Canadians provided the machines, training, and pilots that won the battle for the airspace over Britain. The paper concludes that Canada gave a huge commitment to the Battle of Britain, and that without Canadian warplanes, training, and pilots, the Battle of Britain would not have turned out as an allied victory.
From the Paper
"As part of the Commonwealth Air Training Plan, there was an all-Canadian squadron in the Royal Air Force with a Canadian commanding officer. The squadron had to be made up of only new recruits because none of the other commanders wanted to part with their Canadian fliers. One hundred Canadian pilots fought in the Battle of Britain. They accounted for 130 shot down, 30 planes that were probably shot down, but never confirmed and over 70 enemy aircraft damaged. This a high score for men that were not fighting over their own country, and were kept on constant alert for 5 months.The destruction and damage to the German aircraft kept countless bombs from falling as panicking aircrews dropped their bombs early to lighten their planes escape back over the English Channel. Johnny Kent's spectacular forty-on-one dogfight best demonstrates the bravery of the Canadian pilots. He managed to dodge the attackers and shoot down one fighter before returning to a safe hanger."

Abstract
The writer looks at the levels of religious tolerance by the British government and subsequent formation of America's standard. The paper explains that while both the United States and Britain have long traditions of religious freedom, Britain had more bloody confrontations over religion in her history than America has had. The writer provides background information on religion in Britain and provides relative information for America.
From the Paper
"Religious freedom in Britain was achieved gradually from the 17th century to the present. Laws that discriminated against minority religious groups were gradually administered less harshly and then finally repealed, and heresy ceased to be a legal offense with the passage of the Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction Act of 1677. The Toleration Act of 1688 granted freedom of worship to Protestant minority groups. The Test and Corporation Act was repealed in 1828 to give nonconformists full political rights, after which it was possible for them to be appointed to public office. Roman Catholics gained political rights with the Roman Catholic Relief Act of 1829."

The Euro, 2006.
A brief overview on the common European monetary unit, the euro.

Abstract
The "euro" is the name of the single currency of the European Community. The Treaty of Rome (1957) declared a common European market as a European purpose with the aim of increasing economic prosperity and contributing to closer ties among the different countries. The paper shows that the Single European Act (1986) and the Treaty on European Union (1992) have shaped on this, introducing Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) and laying the basics for a single currency, the euro.
Paper Outline:
History of Euro
Impact of Euro
The Future Prospects of Euro
References
From the Paper
"The impact of the Euro has been very significant not only in the European markets but also in the international arena. One of the results is same currency noticeably eliminates the need for transaction costs to convert currencies. Such financial resources could be used in a more effective way, by producing output that has a greater value to society."

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.

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 . "

The Euro, 2004.
This paper discusses the effects of the euro on participating countries, especially Finland, and, based on secondary research, concludes that the UK would benefit by joining the European Monetary Union (EMU).

Abstract
This paper explains that the introduction and implementation of the euro has done much to integrate the national financial markets, leading to higher efficiency in the allocation of capital in Europe, with EMU members benefiting from an increase in intra-European trade flows and higher capital investment resulting from the development of a single currency. The author points out that a single currency is now an important complement to the Single European Market, which is quickly making the European Union a more powerful player in the global economy. The paper stresses that the single unit of account reduces transaction costs and eliminates a portion of the fixed costs involved in issuing similar securities in multiple currencies, serving to moderate home bias in borrowing and lending, and leading to larger, more-liquid, and more-diversified financial markets.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The common currency will ultimately speed up the integration of the EU countries. With a single currency, a single monetary and interest policy, the countries in the euro zone are more dependent on one another than they ever were. The single currency is slated to become an outward sign of European identity. Thus, national economic policies must remain sufficiently flexible to react to different situations. However, better coordination is necessary to avoid future problems. Europe's increasing power in monetary and financial questions will for also have positive effects on the EU's scope for foreign policy action. A Europe with fewer internal borders and in which people use the same currency from will have a new quality quite different from the Europe of the past."

Abstract
An analysis of the new European currency, the Euro. The paper provides a history of previous attempts to institute such a change and how the process finally lead to the implementation. Details of economic changes in trade, taxation and personally are listed, as well as views for and against the Euro. Each country's position is discussed.
From the paper:
"European nations have recently adopted the euro currency, and this paper will provide pros and cons, and overall analysis of how Europe can benefit from it. Never before has a single currency been created across an industrialized zone. Exchange rate stability is what people are looking for with the euro. Some people hope it is such a success, that it will someday reach the shores of the United States and Japan. The euro is a financial innovation, and a common currency is the ultimate in stable exchange rates. A monetary union also provides the possibilities of a European political union linking."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the financial movement of the Euro vs. the dollar during the calender year 2001. It looks at the efforts by the European Central bank to maintain stability and what measures it is taking. It also describes the difficulties in the financial markets of late due to economic insecurity and how this has had an effect on these currencies' movements.
From the paper:
"The future of the euro vis-?-vis the dollar is naturally of concern to the this foreign currency management department of this bank given the potential to disruption in the U.S. economy at large if the euro experiences substantial fluctuations as well as the potential disruption to the activities to this particular bank that such changes in the status of this currency vis-?-vis the dollar might portend. In this regard, it is important to note that the future of the euro is actually somewhat brighter now than it was at the beginning of this calendar year."

Impact of the Euro, 2007.
A discussion on how the euro has changed the financial world.

Abstract
This paper examines the impact of the European Union's euro in the European markets and the international domain. The paper explains that the implementation of the new currency required careful and extensive preparation by the European Union, and the exchange rates at the beginning of implementing the euro were, on the whole, very challenging. The paper points out that one major impact and obvious benefit of the implementation of the euro is the removal of transaction costs of exchanging currencies between countries that use it and this means that businesses that trade within the Eurozone don't have differences in prices on their currency. In conclusion, the paper shows that since the euro's introduction in 1999 some notable effects have been the removal of transactions costs and exchange rates, arbitrage, European monetary policy and members' fiscal policies, and investment opportunities.
From the Paper
"After intricate planning, the euro was ultimately born on January 1, 1999. It was created and intended to be used as a single currency throughout Europe and to assist in merging the European economies. The European Union wanted to unify these economies to make the EU more competitive with the alliance formed among the United States, Canada and Mexico under NAFTA and other various economic alliances (Madura 16). Only several countries adopted the euro at first while others rejected it. The countries that first adopted the euro were: Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal and Spain. On the other hand, the United Kingdom, Denmark, and Sweden had turned down the implementation of the euro. These countries that accepted the euro had phased out their old home currencies and completely implemented the euro on January 1, 2002."
