Opis

Shemirani provides a systematic methodology for the study of Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWFs) over their life span. She emphasizes the need for a paradigm shift in our approach towards the study of state capitalism with specific reference to the world's four largest SWFs as well as offering insights into their functioning and investment strategies.

Recenzje

'In a period of geopolitical transition and economic volatility, this balanced study of Sovereign Wealth Funds is a must read for scholars and practitioners alike. An economist trained as a political scientist, and a political scientist trained as an economist, Dr. Shemirani combines the needed tools for a lucid assessment of the many political and economic issues raised by these Funds.' Simon Serfaty, CSIS, Washington, DC and Old Dominion University, USA Big government and state capitalism, if not back in fashion, is certainly back in business. Never has there been a better time to examine the rise of Sovereign Wealth Funds. Ms Shemirani dismisses some of the popular misconceptions about SWFs and provides a scholarly analysis that will be of great value to students of international political economyand the investor who takes the long view.
