Financial Markets and European Monetary Cooperation

Cross-Collaboration in Forensic Science Curriculum documents the best practice and experiences of a group of forensic science instructors developing complex multidisciplinary learning and teaching scenarios in higher education for forensic science. This title examines the design, development, implementation and evaluation of core scientific disciplines and includes an examination of methodologies for delivering learning and teaching for multiple evidence types using multidisciplinary teams in realistic environments that encompass specific aspects of problems and cover scenario-based learning theories. At present, no books on the market lay out best practices for those instructing in a cross-disciplinary manner within the forensic sciences. The practical nature of the teaching techniques outlined in this guide will inform and enhance teaching across all of the forensic sciences.A blend of theoretical and policy-oriented analysis, this book provides a comprehensive assessment of the causes and implications of the 1992-3 crisis of the exchange rate mechanism of the European monetary system. Cogent factual presentation - including new details on the crisis - original theoretical analysis, and an interpretation rooted in the theory, make this treatment essential reading to understand the process toward economic and political integration in Europe. The authors first sketch the history of monetary cooperation in Europe from Bretton Woods to Maastricht. A step-by-step account of the 1992-3 events follows, including a discussion of the extent to which financial markets anticipated the crisis. A survey of the literature on the subject introduces the authors' center-periphery model of currency crisis. The authors argue that the vulnerability of Europe to financial crisis was - and still is - the result of the lack of concern with the systemic dimensions of monetary policy-making.
