Abstract

This book examines the question of why German and British business associations representing economically similar firms pursued different policies towards Economic and Monetary Union from 1988 until 1998. To answer this question, I have analysed the decision-making structures of ten German and British business associations which were selected based upon their position in the international economy and their imputed interests in monetary integration. I have examined the evolution of their political positions towards EMU between 1988 and 1998 and compared their changing political positions with the economic positions of firms in the economic sectors represented by each business association. Also, I have analysed the connection between the business associations lobbying and public statements and the policies of governments and political parties. As a result, this study provides both an empirical and theoretical contribution to discussions of interest group behaviour.
