Griechenland auf dem Weg zur europäischen Wirtschafts- und Währungsunion - Greece on Course Toward the European Economic and Monetary Union

Greece’s anticipated participation in Stage Three of the European Economic and Monetary Union (EU) beginning on 01.01.2001 is a significant issue in the political agenda of the country’s administration. The starting point for this volume is the aspect that Greece can gain considerable profit from the German experience for its own course toward the EU.
Against this background, the work examines at the outset aspects of Greece’s nominal, real and legal convergence in an interdisciplinary and comparative setting; it further reviews the consequences of the introduction of the new currency for the Greek private sector; and, not least, it discusses the acceptance of the euro by citizens and consumers.
