Europeanization, whitehall culture and the treasury as institutional veto player : a constructivist approach to economic and monetary union - R.W.A.Rhodes, 2000
This article examines Europeanization in Whitelhall, using EMU as a case study. It argues that how the EMU policy comunity has developed within Whitehall, and its outcomes, cannot be captured using a narrow, rationalist game-theoretic framework. Although strategic behaviour is important, as Dyson and Featherstone (1999)argue, the primary question is how Whitehall players have defined British interests, formed a collective identity and given a specific meaning to the EMU game. The article applies a cultural approach to Whitehall, focusing on the macro structures of belief within wich EMU policy is made
