Structure and Agency in International Capital Mobility [Paperback]

Structure and Agency in International Capital Mobility highlights the importance of mobile resources as a feature of globalization, and challenges the received wisdom about the causes and effects of international capital mobility. There seems little doubt that a sea change is taking place as a result of globalization. From a world concerned with strategic weapons and the risks of mutual annihilation, a new world order is emerging in which quite different forces loom large in the communal consciousness. In this order, resources and the jobs and prosperity they produce have - at least in the West - pushed security matters firmly into second place.List of Figures and Tables Acknowledgements Notes on the Contributors List of Abbreviations Structure and Agency in International Capital Mobility: An Introduction; K.P.Thomas and T.J.Sinclair PART I: INTERNATIONAL CAPITAL MOBILITY AND CONVERGENCE Financial Deregulation and the Origins of EMU; The French Policy Reversal of 1983; D.M.Andrews Does Capital Mobility Cause Regulatory Convergence?
