Securing the Global Economy explores how and why the G8 and other
institutions of global governance deal with increasingly
comprehensive and complex economic-security connections. These
connections are explored from an interdisciplinary perspective,
with economists, political scientists and those in the policy world
bringing their insights to bear. Moreover, this volume explores
this economic-security connection from a constitutional or
institutional perspective. In a classical liberal spirit, it is
concerned with the organizing principles of a liberal international
economic order and the framework of rules that enables it to
survive and flourish. Security issues, national trade policies, the
multilateral trade system and the detailed technical issues they
subsume are analysed from this higher vantage point. This is thus a
work about global governance as a whole and at its core, rather
than a problem-solving manual for a few of the issues now at centre
stage. Furthermore, it applies this larger vision to the current G8
and global economic-security agenda to generate a set of policy
recommendations about how the global community, through and outside
the G8, can better cope with the complex interconnected challenges
it now confronts. Its innovative policy recommendations are
especially timely when the recent global financial crisis, economic
recession and fragile recovery place great strains on the liberal
economic order, while new challenges from Iran, ongoing terrorist
threats and corruption make this security-economic connection
critically important.
This title was first published in 2002: As the twenty-first century
began, it was easy to assume that the reforms to the international
financial system undertaken in the last half of the 1990s were
adequate to the core tasks of ensuring stability, sustained growth
and broadly shared benefits in the world economy. That comfortable
consensus has now been shattered. This volume critically assesses
fundamental issues including: -the elements and adequacy of recent
G7-led efforts at international financial reform -current causes of
and prospects for growth in the new global economy -the challenges
of crisis prevention -private sector participation and IFI
responsibilities -the world's monetary supply and sovereignty in
the face of market forces. These key topics are examined by leading
economists and scholars of political economy from both academic and
policy communities in G7 countries, making it an essential addition
to the collections of all those concerned with the challenges
facing the world economy in the coming years.
Out of the debate over the effectiveness of the policy responses to
the 2008 global financial crisis as well as over the innovativeness
of global governance comes this collection by leading academics and
practitioners who explore the dynamics of economic crisis and
impact. Edited by Paolo Savona, John J. Kirton, and Chiara Oldani
Global Financial Crisis: Global Impact and Solutions examines the
nature of the recent crisis, its consequences in major regions and
countries, the innovations in the ideas, instruments and
institutions that constitute national and regional policy
responses, building on the G8's response at its L'Aquila Summit.
Experts from Africa, North America, Asia and Europe examine the
implications of those responses for international cooperation,
coordination and institutional change in global economic
governance, and identify ways to reform and even replace the
architecture created in the mid 20th century in order to meet the
global challenges of the 21st.

On its 30th anniversary in 2004 responsibility for hosting the G8
Summit fell into the hands of an allegedly unilateralist America.
An America still reeling from the shock of the September 11th
terrorist attacks, the resulting economic recession, bitter
divisions with its NATO allies and disappointment with the United
Nations Institutions over the 2003 Iraq war. So why does America
still need the G8? New Perspectives on Global Governance offers new
insight into the role of the Group of Eight's major market
democracies and challenges the assumption that the G8 is simply a
forum for binding a unilateralist hegemonic America. In contrast to
seeing the G8 as a means of imposing an American world order this
unique collection of new writings suggests that a now vulnerable
America must rely on the G8 as a central instrument of foreign
policy. America needs the G8 to achieve its security, economic and
political interests in the world and to shape the twenty-first
central global order it so desperately wants.

Two years ago, the Guido Carli Association, in collaboration with
the Aspen Institute Italia, charged a group of distinguished
economists to examine the problems created by the unsatisfactory
functioning of the International Monetary System. The two resulting
conferences were sponsored by the Fondazione della Cassa di
Risparmio di Firenze (CESIFIN) and the Permanent Advisory Committee
on the Euro and the Dollar (PACE&D). Their research had a
two-fold aim. The first was an examination of the basic function of
the International Monetary System with a special focus on the role
the Euro would and should have. The second was the preparation of a
list of recommendations on how to resolve the problems, financial
problems in particular, affecting the entire world community. Last
year, the group focused on efforts taking place in diverse
financial institutions and universities to construct what has been
called the New International Financial Architecture'. This group
considered the legal problems arising from European and
international integration and, more generally, from the new
architecture of the International Monetary System. This book, The
New Architecture of the International Monetary System, is the final
result of their efforts. It will be an invaluable resource for
academics, professionals, and students alike.
Approximately two years ago, the Guido Carli Association charged a
group of distinguished economists with studying various aspects of
the international monetary system and proposing ways to improve it.
The studies were presented at a conference in Florence, Italy, on
June 19, 1998 and their edited versions are published in this
volume. Ideas for the Future of the International Monetary System
consists of two parts: Part I contains the studies commissioned by
the Carli Association - those by Dominick Salvatore; Koichi Hamada;
Forrest Capie; Michele Fratianni, Andreas Hauskrecht and Aurelio
Maccario; Jurgen von Hagen and Ingo Fender, Michael Artis, Marion
Kohler and Jacques Melitz; Barry Eichengreen; Michele Fratianni and
Andreas Hauskrecht; Paolo Savona and Aurelio Maccario; and Elvio
Dal Bosco - and the comments by Paul De Grauwe and William Branson,
and the editors' conclusions. Part II contains three papers
presented at the Florence conference, by Antonio Fazio, Carl
Scognamiglio, and Alberto Predieri.

In light of the pickup of inflation at the end of 2021 and monetary
policy shifts by the world's major central banks, this book
examines interrelated issues in the normalization of monetary
policy. It covers topics including the role of technological
innovations such as derivatives and cryptocurrencies in monetary
and financial management, the role of monetary policy in financial
crises (especially public debt), and the major repricing needed for
central banks and the global economy. In addition, the book
discusses the problem of how flexible money should be and the
importance of predictive tools for these decisions, with attention
to the advances of languages for scientific research, including
those on the workings of the economy. The work addresses the
geopolitical and social challenges that have arisen as a result of
the invasiveness of monetary policy in its various manifestations
in the context of major leading currencies. It is aimed at scholars
and students of monetary and financial economics.
The intensifying pace of globalization has led to a questioning of
the traditional approaches to governance at the corporate, national
and international levels. The crash of the dot-com bubble and the
outbreak of corporate accounting scandals in the United States,
along with the debt burden of financial institutions in Japan and
Europe, have led to demands for major reforms. Consequently,
national governments are confronting stronger demands for new ways
to regulate corporations to fulfil their social responsibilities
and generate growth in a competitive world. This volume explores
three central questions: what forms of corporate governance are
most desirable for the globalizing world of the twenty-first
century? What forms of public governance are most appropriate in
this new age? And how well are the world's leading national
governments pioneering the needed policies and practices? The book
offers an analysis of the G8's role in assisting governments and
corporations to work together to design and deliver a superior
approach.
