This article assesses the relationship between money, collective identity, and European integration. The recent move of the European Union (EU) toward a common currency — the euro — seems to contradict the conventional «one nation/one money» assumption about the association between states, territory and money creation. However, from a broad macro-historical perspective, the process of European monetary unification is not as exceptional and unique as it is often made out to be. I argue that the relationship between money and collective identity is reciprocal. On the one hand, money is a purposeful political tool in the construction of identities. On the other hand, in order to function properly, money requires some degree of collective identity among its users. Thus, the article examines the role of the euro as part of an explicit project to facilitate the development of a European identity as well as the required level of European identity necessary for a successful functioning of the euro. The key identity aspect at stake in the relationship between money and identity is not an affective relationship between citizens and country, but rather a relationship of trust. During the process of modernisation, trust has become rather abstract and institutionalised. To support a modern relationship of trust, identity does not have to rest on deep affective feelings of belonging. Diffuse identity, based on utilitarian or contractual factors and as part of evolving hybrid identity structures, is sufficient.

Quite amateurishly written, but points to some interesting and scarcely known data.

It actually boasts on the cover: «Each state assigned to a star in the U.S. flag» although, reading between the lines on that, it implies that the authors have done the assigning, rather than them displaying an official correlation between stars and states. Since the book is put out by the US Capitol Historical society, though, they should have known better.

A very good source.

Only a small proportion of the book is about flags. Twenty page chapter on British naval flags and at a guess something like 50 pages on Royal Navy visual signalling (not all flags), in a 370 page book on communications, mainly electronic.

Städtebuch is an effort to provide a comprehensive and comparative account of all the cities in Germany. It has a (longish) entry on every city divided into categories such as explanation of the name, account of the history etc etc, and one of the subcategories is on the coat of arms, the colours and the flag of the city.

The first edition was started in the thirties, and finished in 1974; it consists of 11 different volumes, all out of stock. Lately a new edition was begun of which the first two volumes (1. Silesia, 1995, 490 pp; 2. Brandenburg and Berlin, 2000, 646 pp.) have been published (by Kohlhammer).

The bibliographical details are listed on this webpage, where there are also three sample entries available as PDF files.
