The role of business in global governance is now widely
recognized, but exploration of its role in global financial
governance has been more haphazard than systematic. This book
provides the first comprehensive analysis of the role of
transnational financial associations (TFAs) in the organization of
global finance.
This book develops three theoretical themes of assemblage,
functionality, and power as enrolment. These themes challenge
approaches that treat financial power as emanating from a single
location or force. Whilst existing approaches tend to treat TFAs as
irrelevant or as merely transmitting power originating elsewhere,
this book argues that power must be created by painstakingly
assembling actors, networks, and objects that are often quite
autonomous and working at cross purposes to one another-a process
in which TFAs play a central role. The book explores these themes
in chapters examining the roles of TFAs in interacting with public
authorities, constructing global financial markets, and creating
financial communities. The authors additionally analyse the roles
of TFAs in the European Union, in the Global South, and in
promoting goals other than profitability, including Islamic
finance, microfinancing, savings banks and cooperatives.
Making a distinctive contribution to our understanding of global
finance and global governance, "Transnational Financial
Associations and the Governance of Global Finance" is an important
book for students and scholars of international political economy,
finance, global governance and international relations.
