Contrasts the limited engagement of domestic actors - political parties, trades unions, business organizations and public opinion - prior to 1991 with their increasingly influential reaction against convergence-driven reforms over recent years. Acknowledges that domestic politics have consequently become integral to explaining the nature of economic and monetary integration and enumerates a number of ways in which their influence is still limited. c3/7/00kM2LMGR
