Bu çalışma, Avrupa ekonomik ve parasal bütünleşmesine önemli bir teorik çerçeve sunan optimum para alanları teorisini değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Optimum para alanları teorisi, para birliği oluşturulacak bölgenin ekonomik özelliklerinin ne olması gerektiğini belirlemeye çalışır. Optimum para alanları teorisi üç aşamada incelenebilir. Mundell (1961)’in gelecekteki çalışmalara temel olan çalışmasıyla başlayan 1960’lar ve 1970’lerin başındaki öncü aşamayı, 1970’lerde teorinin bütünleştirici aşaması izlemiştir. Üçüncü aşamada, 1980’lerden günümüze optimum para alanları teorisi yeniden değerlendirilmiş ve teori ampirik çalışmalar ile test edilmiştir. Bu çalışmada son olarak, optimum para alanlarının endojenliği ele alınmıştır.
