Technology is redefining financial services-including the way
actors make and settle payments, raise capital, extend loans, and
memorialize increasingly complex relationships. At the same time,
new innovations-from cryptocurrencies to marketplace lending,
robo-advising, and mobile payments-are creating novel regulatory
issues for anti-money laundering requirements and cybersecurity.
This Nutshell provides an overview of some the key developments
reshaping finance-and the rules deployed to oversee them. Chris
Brummer's Fintech Nutshell has been named by BookAuthority one of
the 20 Best New Fintech Books to Read in 2020!
This book explains how international financial law 'works' and
presents an alternative theory for understanding its purpose,
operation, and limitations. Drawing on a close institutional
analysis of the post-crisis financial architecture, it argues that
international financial law is often bolstered by a range of
reputational, market, and institutional mechanisms that make it
more coercive than classical theories of international law predict.
As such, it is a powerful, though at times imperfect, tool of
financial diplomacy. Expanded and revised, the second edition of
Soft Law and the Global Financial System contains updated material
as well as an extensive new chapter analyzing how international
standards and best practices have been operationalized in the US
and EU in the wake of the financial crisis. It remains an essential
tool for understanding global soft law for political scientists,
lawyers, economists, and students of financial statecraft.
Economic diplomacy is changing. The multilateral organizations that
dominated the last half of the twentieth century no longer
monopolize economic affairs. Instead, countries are resorting to
more modest 'minilateral' strategies like trade alliances, informal
'soft law' agreements, and financial engineering to manage the
global economy. Like traditional modes of economic statecraft,
these tools are aimed at both liberalizing and supervising
international financial policy in a world of diverse national
interests. But unlike before, they are specifically tailored to
navigating a post-American (and post-Western) world where economic
power is more diffuse than ever before. This book explains how
these strategies work and reveals how this new diplomatic toolbox
will reshape how countries do business with one another for decades
to come.
