Abstract

This chapter examines conflicting governmental stances surrounding two reform proposals in post-crisis European Union (EU) economic governance, namely the set-up of the European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs) and the introduction of a European Financial Transaction Tax (FTT). Both issues were fiercely debated, with discordant stances in revamping the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) specifically coming from the UK and Germany. Following the societal approach to governmental preference formation, this study provides a comprehensive overview of national preferences and illustrates that the governmental stances towards the ESAs and the FTT were strongly shaped by two societal dynamics, sectoral interests and value-based ideas. In a cross-country comparison, the discourse and actions towards financial market supervision and regulation investigates: (1) how and to what extent these dynamics determined conflicting stances, (2) when each of these mattered, and (3) how they interacted with each other in shaping variance in governmental stances.
