Abstract

L’émergence de l’euro comme monnaie internationale et l’évolution de son taux de change notamment vis-à-vis du dollar au cours de la période de transition 1999-2001 ont suscité un débat important sur la nécessité d’assurer un euro fort au sein de l’union économique et monétaire. L’analyse des termes de ce débat, largement développé dans la littérature économique et dans les médias, permet d’établir un lien entre la conception d’un euro fort et la construction d’une identité européenne. Elle met en évidence l’intérêt que peuvent attribuer les Européens à une monnaie forte et les différentes conceptions qu’ils peuvent en avoir d’un euro fort. Elle tente de déduire de la pratique monétaire des premières années de fonctionnement de l’UEM la conception d’un euro fort retenue par les autorités monétaires européennes et elle confronte les explications de l’affaiblissement de l’euro par rapport au dollar au cours de cette période.
