The globalization of finance is widely recognised as one of the
most significant features of the contemporary world. In this timely
new book, Tony Porter guides students through current debates about
global finance and discusses the extent to which the development of
a global marketplace affects our daily lives.
He examines the complex networks of public-sector and
non-governmental institutions and practices that facilitate the
globalization of finance and provide an emerging set of
arrangements for regulating it.
The book is both comprehensive and innovative, and includes
chapters on banking, securities markets, foreign direct investment,
private authority, the role of developing and transition countries,
global civil society, gender, the politics of risk practices and
financial crises, and democracy.
Written for students approaching the topic for the first time,
this book provides a coherent, empirical and theoretically rigorous
introduction to the governance of global finance.
