Nation-States and Money
National currencies appear to be threatened from all sides. European Union member
countries are abandoning their national currencies in favour of a supranational
currency by the year 2000. Elsewhere, the use of foreign currencies within national
economic spaces is on the increase, as shown by the growth of eurocurrency activity,
and ‘currency substitution’ in many parts of the world. In the last decade, privately-
issued sub-national ‘local currencies’ have also proliferated in a number of countries,
and some predict the emergence of private electronic monies in the future.
In the light of these transformations, this book asks what the future holds for national
currencies. The first half of the volume addresses issues relating to money leading up
to, and during, the formation of national currencies. Ranging widely in their historical
and geographical context, the articles problematise the relationship between money
and nation-states by examining alternative forms and uses of currencies during this
period. The second half of the book looks at contemporary challenges faced by
national currencies.
This volume suggests that the future of national currencies is very much implicated
in how money, nations and states have been interrelated in the past. Money, it
suggests, is not solely an economic phenomenon but also a geographical, historical,
political, social and cultural phenomenon. Bringing together a number of
interdisciplinary experts,
Nation-States and Money
provides a very topical, varied
perspective on the past and possible future between money and nation-states. It is
written for students and researchers in economics, international relations,
international political economy, sociology and geography.
