Opis

Early in the new millennium it appeared that a long period of financial crisis had come to an end, but the world now faces renewed and greater turmoil. This volume analyses the past three decades of global financial integration and governance and the recent collapse into crisis, offering a coherent and policy-relevant overview. State-of-the-art research from an interdisciplinary group of scholars illuminates the economic, political and social issues at the heart of devising an effective and legitimate financial system for the future. The chapters offer debate around a series of core themes which probe the ties between public and private actors and the consequences for outcomes for both developed markets and developing countries alike. The contributors argue that developing effective, legitimate financial governance requires enhancing public versus private authority through broader stakeholder representation, ensuring more acceptable policy outcomes.

Recenzje

Review of the hardback: 'The global financial crisis has demonstrated the weaknesses of international financial governance. The emergence of the G20 is one response, but just a promising beginning. This book offers a wide range of timely lessons from history, political economy and finance to guide us in exploring new paths to a safer international financial system. It is a fine example of how research can inform policy.' Richard Portes, Professor of Economics, London Business School
