Exchange Rates and the Monetary System comprises a careful selection of Peter B. Kenen's acclaimed papers on international monetary economics written over the past thirty years.

The volume includes Professor Kenen's theoretical and empirical essays on the functioning of the international monetary system, policy co-ordination and exchange rate management, the debt problem, monetary integration in Western Europe and economic reform in Eastern Europe. A detailed introduction places Professor Kenen's papers in context and outlines the development of his thought as well as his experience of international policy making and policy co-ordination, beginning with the Kennedy administration and including recent visits to institutions such as the International Monetary Fund and the Bank of England.

Divided into sections which deal specifically with theory, measurement and policy prescription, this volume offers a comprehensive assessment of international monetary economics by a scholar who has made significant contributions to both theory and policy.
