Ruling Europe – The Politics of the Stability and Growth Pact
"Ruling Europe" presents the first comprehensive analysis of the political history of the Stability and Growth Pact (SGP) as the cornerstone of Economic and Monetary Union. It examines the SGP through different theoretical lenses, offering a fascinating study of European integration and institutional design. One cannot understand the euro without first understanding the SGP. "Ruling Europe – The Politics of the Stability and Growth Pact" has just been published by Cambridge University Press.
Frankfurt School is delighted to host the offical launch of the book in Frankfurt. It will take place on Thursday, March 25, 7 pm. You are cordially invited:
