Coalitions of consumer groups, NGOs, and trade unions have
traditionally been considered politically weak compared to
well-organized and resourceful financial sector groups which
dominate or "capture" financial regulatory decisions. However,
following the 2008 financial crisis, civil society groups have been
seen to exert much more influence, with politicians successfully
implementing financial reform in spite of industry opposition.
Drawing on literature from social movement research and regulatory
politics, this book shows how diffuse interests were represented in
financial regulatory overhauls in both the United States (US) and
the European Union (EU). Four cases of reform in the post-crisis
regulatory context are analyzed: the creation of a new Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau in the US; the introduction of new
consumer protection regulations through EU directives; the failure
of attempts to introduce a financial transaction tax in the US; and
the agreement of 11 EU member states to introduce such a tax. It
shows how building coalitions with important elite allies outside
and inside government helped traditionally weak interest groups
transcend a lack of material resources to influence and shape
regulatory policy. By engaging with a less well-known side of the
debate, it explains how business power was curbed and diverse
interests translated into financial regulatory policy.
