“The Euro Future” is the third (and final) of three panels of this mini-symposium on the Future of the Euro. This panel will look at the political economy of intervention in a set of institutions dedicated to rules, place the discussion in the broader context of debates in political economy and the history of international money, and address the question whether the process of EU integration does indeed always move forward through crisis. Jacoby's paper examines the central role Germany will play for the euro's future by focusing on what he calls 'the politics of timing' and the 'timing of politics;' Parsons and Matthijs' paper looks at European integration past, present and future, and asks the question whether EU integration always moves forward through crisis, and why the euro crisis is qualitatively different from previous challenges the EU has faced; Helleiner's paper puts the euro in the broader historical context of the evolution of the international monetary system.
