This timely book offers important new insights into the boundaries
between political and financial geographies, focusing on the links
between the changing strategies, policies and institutions of the
state. It investigates banks and other financial institutions
affected by both state policies and a globalizing financial system,
and the financial resources available to firms as well as
households. In so doing, the book highlights how an empirical focus
on the semi-periphery of the financial system may generate new
perspectives on the entanglement between geopolitics and finance.
Chapters explore a range of place-specific relations, highlighting
the impact of state-led reforms, the importance of models,
innovation and adaptation to local conditions, and bank
intermediation. Conceptually, the book engages with insights from a
variety of disciplines in order to explore the connections between
geo-political and geo-economic discourses, public finance and
foreign policy, the practices and localization of financial
institutions, and the evolution of strategies for globalizing
firms. Political and financial geographers will find this book to
be a compelling read, as it sheds new light on the semi-periphery,
which is often overlooked in studies addressing the global
financial system. Economic policy-makers working on the nexus
between politics, finance and development will also benefit from
reading this book. Contributors include: S. Ageeva, G. Battisti, F.
Betioli Contel, S. Grandi, J. Jafri, G. Lim, A. Mishura, T.T.
Nguyen, M. Percoco, U. Rosati, C. Sellar, E. Stavrova, E. Yilmaz
