Financial markets are given to instability, but some financial
systems are more crisis-prone than others. Natasha Hamilton-Hart's
historically grounded investigation of central banks, governments,
and private bankers in Southeast Asia helps explain why. Focusing
on Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore, she shows how the long-term
development and internal attributes of central banks and state
financial institutions shape their interactions with private
bankers and influence their ability to manage the financial
sector.The politics of finance in Southeast Asia is understudied,
Hamilton-Hart contends, and central banks themselves virtually
ignored. Yet central banks play a pivotal role in determining a
country's vulnerability to regional and global financial pressures
such as the currency and financial crises of the late 1990s.
Southeast Asian central bankers were major players in the events
surrounding these upheavals. Countries in the region experienced
the economic chaos in different ways, however, as the central banks
of Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore drew upon different
institutional capacities and legacies. Asian States, Asian Bankers
brings new case material to the field of political economics and
delineates the operation of central banks and their roles in the
monetary and financial policies of three Southeast Asian states. In
addition, Hamilton-Hart's work bridges two areas that have often
been studied apart from each other: the national-level politics of
financial management and the transnational orientation of many
bankers in Southeast Asia.
