- W38862380 abstract "Over the past forty years, enduring regional monetary institutions have been created in West and Central Africa (the franc zone), Southern Africa (the rand zone), the East Caribbean, and Western Europe (the euro). Short-lived or failed regional currencies can be found in East Africa, the post-Soviet successor states, Central America, and the Persian Gulf. Using the role of France in the franc zone as evidence, one common argument is that these regional efforts are merely by-products of hegemonic powers’ ambitions and interests—imposed from above by great powers rather than chosen from below by newly independent states. A related argument focuses on the Southern African rand zone to suggest that regionalism thrives only where there is a regional hegemon or paymaster to support it. I show that both versions of the hegemonic argument are incomplete and misleading. This paper examines the overall pattern of regional currency institution-building during the Cold War and after. I show that intra-regional hegemons have played no role in creating regional currencies except in the case of the rand zone and that the extra-regional hegemon hypothesis provides little insight outside the franc zone. Even in the case of the franc zone, the French role should not be exaggerated. Overall, while the hegemonic explanation has value in these two cases, it is not the whole story even in those cases. And broadly comparing across all world regions—francophone Africa, anglophone Africa, Central America, the rouble zone, Southeast Asia, etc.—the common denominator is not hegemonic imposition, but small power choices." @default.
