After Second World War, Luxembourg – with its singular geopolitical situation – abandoned its neutral status and embarked on a path to multilateralism, giving particular priority to European integration. From the early 1960s, the country promoted the idea of a Europe through currency as a crucial basis for effective economic integration, as reflected in the theories and action of a wide range of state and non-state actors.
