Résumé :
[en] After Second World War, Luxembourg – with its singular geopolitical situation – abandoned its neutral status and embarked on a path to multilateralism, giving particular priority to European integration. From the early 1960s, the country promoted the idea of a Europe through currency as a crucial basis for effective economic integration, as reflected in the theories and action of a wide range of state and non-state actors. Based on archive research, and considering the period from 1945 until the early 1980s, this paper aimed at analysing how did Luxembourg’s specific monetary characteristics influence the theoretical basis for the welfare state.

This conference was organised in the framework of the EURECON project, which has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement No. 716849).
Twentieth century European cooperation/integration and its institutions have been home to several strands of economic ideas, including Keynesianism, neo-mercantilism, social-oriented approaches, market-oriented and neoliberal policy options. The aim of this conference is to explore the development, circulation, discussion and confrontation of economic ideas that contributed to shape the setting up of Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) throughout the second half of the twentieth century.
