520    "The collapse of the Bretton Woods system in the early 
       1970s resulted in a transition to fluctuating rather than 
       fixed currency system. This brought sterling into the 
       turmoil of the world currency markets, and by the end of 
       the 1970s, sterling had quietly ended its role as an 
       international currency. Sterling-dollar diplomacy 
       collapsed, bringing to an end what had hitherto been 
       considered Britain's prime relationship.Britain and 
       European Monetary Cooperation, 1964-1979 provides a unique
       perspective on these events, shedding light on the 
       complexities of the historical context of British monetary
       diplomacy and exploring the country's attempt at a 
       European approach to sterling in the 1960s and '70s. The 
       book describes the political and economic approach Britain
       took at the turn of the 1970s, and explains how the 
       country became restricted by the burden of the sterling 
       balances. In this book, the author illustrates how these 
       developments offered opportunity for both cooperation and 
       conflict in the light of monetary diplomacy. He 
       demonstrates how Britain's struggle to achieve exchange 
       rate stability, twinned with controversy over European 
       Economic Community membership, finally prompted serious 
       reconsideration of economic policy-making. This book 
       challenges the commonly-held perception of the decline of 
       sterling, and explains that, although Britain's attempt at
       a European approach failed, the decline of the currency 
       was more complicated than a 'managed decline'"--|cProvided
