The first systematic analysis of why Britain and France parted company on the issue of European monetary integration. Ikemoto reveals that Britain was much keener to participate in the early stages of monetary integration than previously thought; Britain and France pursued broadly similar policies on the issue until the end of the 1970s.

“Ikemoto provides a detailed and convincing narrative of the evolution of British policy on monetary integration. This book is recommended to those interested in the origins of European economic and monetary union as seen from London and Paris.” (Martin Duchac, Journal of Common Market Studies, Vol. 53 (3), 2015)
