La décennie 1980-1991 a constitué pour la construction politico-institutionnelle de l'Europe communautaire un tournant historique symbolisé par les deux grandes étapes que sont l'Acte unique européen (1986) et le traité de Maastricht (1992). Cependant, c'est bien en coulisses et non à travers ces images d'Epinal que se noua le destin de la Communauté européenne .Au-delà de ces réalisations concrètes, il convient de s'attarder sur ce qui poussa les décideurs de l'époque à accepter ou même à refuser d'approfondir cette construction. Dès lors il s'agit, à travers cette étude, de tenter de cerner autant qu'il se peut les deux mouvements de relance (1984 et 1989) qui, durant cette période, se sont profilés sur le plan des institutions communautaires et paracommunautaires de coopération et qui, finalement, conduisirent les responsables européens à s'orienter vers l'Union politique et plus globalement vers l'Union européenne. / The 1980-1991 decade has been an historical turning point for the creation of the political and institutional European community, symbolized by two keys events : the Single European Act (1986) and the Treaty of Maastricht (1992).However, it is behind the scenes and not only through these specific actions that the real destiny of the European Community was sealed. Beyond these concrete actions, a strong attention should be given on what pushed, at that time, the decision makers to accept or even refuse to deepen this construction.From then on, the purpose of this study is to identify as much as possible the two political stimulus plans (1984 and 1989), that during this period, were outlined by the Community institutions and mechanisms of cooperation in foreign policy.

This paper considers two major issues in the evolution of the European Union, the Single Market and the Single Currency. The first chapter deals with the projected effects of the 1992 Programme, and the second chapter deals with the collapse of the Exchange Rate Mechanism of the European Monetary System and examines the prospects for European Monetary Union given this collapse. The third chapter revolves around the concept of Central Banking under Monetary Union and focuses on the European Monetary Institute and the European System of Central Banks. Chapter four presents data regarding the progress of the European Union towards the target of the Single Currency, as well as other macroeconomic indicators.
