Benjamin J. Cohen has been one of the most original and influential
writers on international political economy. This book provides an
overview of his contribution to the field, grouped around the
central theme of global monetary governance.
The book is divided into three sections:
- challenges to systemic governance - examines the challenge of
governance of the international monetary system looking at such
crucial issues as monetary reform, the growth of capital markets
and financial globalization
- dealing with financial crisis - looks at efforts to deal
effectively with financial crises, analyzing the relationships
between governments and banks in the management of international
debt problems and the case for capital controls. There are case
studies of the Asian financial crisis and several other key
instances of instability in world markets
- the new geography of money - analyzes the crisis of legitimacy
created by a global system where governing authority is exercised
now more by market forces than by sovereign states. It explores the
geopolitical implications of the competition between the two most
widely used currencies in the world today, the US dollar and the
Euro and spells out the main implications for policy makers.
The concluding chapters evaluate the merits and prospects for
the two most widely discussed policy alternatives available to
governments responsible for the world's many less competitive
currencies - dollarization or monetary union.
