This Research Handbook is a one-stop resource on global capital
markets and the laws that regulate them. Focussing primarily on
‘mainstream’ capital markets, and framing them as an ecosystem
in which the market players and regulators must co-exist, the
Handbook paints a canvas on which key cross-cutting themes are
depicted, dissected and discussed. Featuring contributions from
leading global experts, the Research Handbook delves into a range
of issues including investment products such as equity finance;
sustainable finance; fintech; impact investing; private equity. It
also provides analysis on institutional and procedural issues such
as large and small companies' capital formation, the roles of
institutional shareholders and information providers, and the
practices and regulation of financial trading markets.
International in scope, this Research Handbook will be of great
value to scholars and practitioners in the field of financial law.
It will also be a go-to source of information for policy makers in
the financial markets sphere.
In the Research Handbook on Shadow Banking an international cast of
experts discusses shadow banking activities, the purposes they
serve, the risks they pose to the financial system, and the wider
implications for regulators and the regulatory perimeter.
Contributors offer high-level and theoretical perspectives on
shadow banking and regulatory risks as well as more detailed
explorations of specific markets in shadow banking. With
perspectives from the United Kingdom, the European Union, the
United States, China and Singapore, this Research Handbook
discusses a range of wholesale sector shadow banking activities
including the rehypothecation of markets, securitisation and
derivatives as well as the implications of hedge fund activities
for systemic risk. Further topics of discussion include a range of
shadow banking activities led by financial and technological
innovation, such as online equity and debt crowd-funding, the rise
of exchange-traded funds, and the emergence of crypto-currencies
and distributed ledger technology. Inter-disciplinary, broad and
comprehensive in topic, this Research Handbook will prove to be a
one-stop resource for legal academics and practitioners as well as
for research students and those participating in the financial
industry and trade associations. Contributors include: J.M. Amico,

Since the publication of the first edition of this book in 2005,
the world of financial investment has experienced an unprecedented
boom followed by a spectacular bust. Significant changes have been
proposed and in some cases implemented in areas such as the
structure of regulation, the organisation of markets, supervision
of market participants and the protection of consumers. The second
edition takes account of these developments, integrating them into
an analytical framework that enables the reader to develop a
critical overview of the role of general legal rules and
specialised systems of regulation in financial investment. The
framework focuses on the role of contract, trusts and regulation as
the primary legal influences for financial investment. The first
part explores the relationship between investment, law and
regulation. The second part examines the nature of investments and
investors, both professional and private. The third part discusses
the central role of corporate finance and corporate governance in
linking investors with enterprises that require external capital.
The fourth part examines the nature, operation and regulation of
markets and the participants that support the functioning of the
markets. The objective remains to provide a broadly-based and
critical account of the role of law in financial investment.

The Future of Financial Regulation is an edited collection of
papers presented at a major conference at the University of Glasgow
in spring 2009, co-sponsored by the Economic and Social Research
Council World Economy and Finance Programme and the the Australian
Research Council Governance Research Network. It draws together a
variety of different perspectives on the international financial
crisis which began in August 2007 and later turned into a more
widespread economic crisis following the collapse of Lehman
Brothers in the autumn of 2008. Spring 2009 was in many respects
the nadir since valuations in financial markets had reached their
low point and crisis management rather than regulatory reform was
the main focus of attention. The conference and book were
deliberately framed as an attempt to re-focus attention from the
former to the latter. The first part of the book focuses on the
context of the crisis, discussing the general characteristics of
financial crises and the specific influences that were at work this
time round. The second part focuses more specifically on regulatory
techniques and practices implicated in the crisis, noting in
particular an over-reliance on the capacity of regulators and
financial institutions to manage risk and on the capacity of
markets to self-correct. The third part focuses on the role of
governance and ethics in the crisis and in particular the need for
a common ethical framework to underpin governance practices and to
provide greater clarity in the design of accountability mechanisms.
The final part focuses on the trajectory of regulatory reform,
noting the considerable potential for change as a result of the
role of the state in the rescue and recuperation of the financial
system and stressing the need for fundamental re-appraisal of
business and regulatory models.
