States, Markets and Regimes in Global Finance [Hardcover]

Building upon a wide range of literatures this book argues that international regulatory institutions become stronger when oligopolistic institutional arrangements decay and competitive pressures intensify. This is shown to be the case for global finance by careful studies of two inter-state institutions, the Basle Committee on Banking Supervision and the International Organization of Securities Commissions, and of the international banking and securities industries which they seek to regulate.List of Tables - List of Figures - Acknowledgements - Introduction: Theory, International Institutions, and Global Finance - Rethinking Regimes: Industry and Institutions - The Regime for Bank Regulation - The Regime for Securities Regulation - Conclusion: Industry and Regime - Bibliography - Index
