The theory of monetary union is analyzed in relation to a small, open economy closely linked to a larger, more stable one. In particular, from the perspective of Mexico, & in case it should decide to create a monetary union with the United States. This analysis is carried out in terms of economic & political feasibility, following the example of the European common currency (Euro), within the NAFTA framework. Additionally, the Canadian position on the subject is also discussed. Adapted from the source document.
The EU rests on treaties that have facilitated the federalization of relations between member states by creating a legal order & community law above national laws, & by developing qualified majority decision making procedures & common policies that imply limits, a community citizenry, a common currency, & an independent central bank. Within the framework of the first pillar -- economic & monetary union -- this federalization has favored strong community integration to the detriment of national or federated sovereignties. However, for the second pillar -- foreign policy & common defense -- & the third -- domestic justice & policy -- integration is insufficient & national differences are very important. The EU is at a crossroads between integration & differentiation, & it must look for new forms of legitimacy, political integration, & federalism before it admits new members.

All the theoretical & empirical studies on the determinants & consequences of foreign direct investment share the conclusion that the regional integration processes generate a positive effect on foreign direct investment inflows & outflows. In this sense, the more advanced the integration process & the more complementary the integrated countries, the higher the benefits generated by the increase in the direct investment & the higher the number of nations benefited by these flows. The current paper focuses on the consequences of the European monetary integration on the FEM inflows & outflows. Despite the few years since the implementation of the monetary union, three years since 1999, data confirm the former hypothesis, explaining the growth in the European Monetary Union in the world shares of FDI flows. 8 Tables, 4 Graphs.

Este artículo analiza el papel del Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión
Europea (TJUE) respecto a la tutela de los derechos fundamentales en el ámbito
de la Unión Económica y Monetaria (UEM). En particular, se examina la desigual y
todavía escasa jurisprudencia generada en relación con la protección y observancia
de la Carta de los Derechos Fundamentales de la UE (CDFUE) en los respectivos
marcos del Mecanismo Europeo de Estabilidad (MEDE), de los procedimientos
comunitarios por déficits públicos excesivos de los Estados miembros, de las
Agencias Europeas de gobernanza de los servicios financieros, de la actuación
del Banco Central Europeo (BCE) en el Mecanismo Único de Supervisión (MUS),
así como los aspectos teóricos de ese control, aún no efectivamente ejercido, en
el contexto de la política monetaria y en el del Mecanismo Único de Resolución

It surveys the still scarce and unequal case law relating to the fulfilment of and
the respect to the EU¿s Charter of Fundamental Rights. In particular, it is surveyed

Analyzes the EU's social welfare policy at the end of the 20th century from three different perspectives. First, the EU's social policies are considered in the context of globalization & monetary union, political & democratic deficits, & the persisting heterogeneity of national welfare regimes. Next, the historical guidelines of social policy -- from the Treaty of Rome to the present are examined, paying special attention to the stages following the Treaty of Maastricht. Finally, he presents the structure of Europe's social agenda & discusses its most important spheres of action. 8 Tables, 4 Figures, 30 References. Adapted from the source document.
The global financial crisis & the debt crisis of its members in the southern euro zone have clearly shown that the European Union's supranational institutions are neither sufficiently strong nor sufficiently flexible to act forcibly in the face of an emergency. The failures in the supranational system of governance are largely due to the strategy of the "fait accompli." An example of this strategy was the decision to go ahead with the monetary unit before having an agreement on political unity. The EU does not have an instrument to curb pre- & post-contractual opportunism, which has taken Greece, for instance, to the edge of bankruptcy. It is difficult to predict the economic & political consequences of this fiasco in supranational governance. Adapted from the source document.
