The Asian Financial Crisis dramatically illustrated the
vulnerability of financial markets in emerging, transitional, and
advanced economies. In response, international organizations
insisted that legal reforms could help protect markets from
financial breakdowns. Sitting at the nexus between the legal system
and the market, corporate bankruptcy law ensures that the
casualties of capitalism are treated in an orderly way.
Halliday and Carruthers show how global actors--including the IMF,
World Bank, UN, and international professional
associations--developed comprehensive norms for corporate
bankruptcy laws and how national policymakers responded in turn.
Drawing on extensive fieldwork in China, Indonesia and Korea, the
authors reveal how national policymakers contested and negotiated
domestic laws in the context of global pressures. The first study
of its kind, this book offers a theory of legal change to explain
why global/local tensions produce implementation gaps. Through its
analysis of globalization, this book has lessons for international
organizations and developing and transition economies the world
over.
