In this book, outstanding political economists provide wide-ranging
and accessible essays on the global monetary system and its
interaction with dynamic and crisis-prone financial markets. The
essays are filled with fresh and well-articulated insights. This
timely survey of an increasingly important field deserves a
prominent place on the syllabi of graduate and advanced
undergraduate courses in international political economy, global
governance, and international finance.' - Louis W. Pauly,
University of Toronto, Canada'Here is an intellectual feast for
anyone interested in the political economy of international
monetary and financial systems, served up by an impressive
collection of experts. Students and specialists alike can gorge
themselves on the many fascinating analyses of core issues and
latest debates in the field. Highly recommended for anyone with an
appetite to learn more about global money and finance.' - Eric
Helleiner, University of Waterloo, Canada This extensive Handbook
provides an in-depth exploration of the political economy dynamics
associated with the international monetary and financial systems.
Leading experts offer a fresh take on research into the interaction
between system structure, the self-interest of private firms, the
political institutions within which governments make policy, and
the ideas that influence beliefs about appropriate policy
responses. Crucially they also assess how these factors have shaped
the political economy of various facets of monetary and financial
systems. Organized into four comprehensive sections, the Handbook
begins with a focus on the international system and explores how
the distribution of power in the system shapes its structure and
dynamics. The next section then considers the politics of exchange
rate regime choice before analyzing current research on financial
crises and financial regulation. Key questions are asked, such as:
what drives financial crises and why do some economies suffer
banking and currency crises while others do not? How does politics
shape the central characteristics of the IMF s approach to crisis
management? And how does change in the distribution of power in the
international system change the structure of the global monetary
and financial systems? The Handbook addresses these concerns and
concludes with an examination of international governance,
including the IMF and institutional reform in the post-crisis
eurozone. This detailed Handbook brings together original
contributions from some of the leading authorities in the field,
making it an invaluable resource to academics and students of
international relations, governance, and political economy.
