Abstract

In den letzten drei Jahrhunderten wurde mehrmals der Versuch gestartet, eine stabile Währungsunion aus souveränen Staaten zu bilden. Vier historische Beispiele sollen durch ihre Entstehungsgeschichte und ihren Zerfall Aufschluss darüber geben, welche Gründe und Ursachen die Instabilität von Währungsräumen vorantreibt. Die Geschichte zeigt in bestimmten Punkten Parallelen zur heutigen Situation der Europäischen Währungsunion. Austrittsgründe der historischen Unionsmitglieder und die Stärke der Austrittsbemühungen lassen sich zum Teil auf die heutige Eurozone projizieren.
