Books
This 2010 volume analyses the past three decades of global financial integration and governance. An interdisciplinary group of scholars illuminates the economic, political and social issues at the heart of devising an effective and legitimate financial system. The contributors argue that developing effective and legitimate financial governance requires enhancing public versus private authority through broader stakeholder representation.
This unique Dutch-language 2010 volume analyses the causes of the Global Financial Crisis arguing that: (i) markets are institutionally embedded; (ii) financialisation has increased the importance of finance vis-a-vis the real economy; and (iii) decisions and nondecisions of policymakers were key in the developments leading to the crisis. The authors emphasises that a more thorough public debate on the financial system is needed.
The Great Financial Crisis prominently raised the question how to explain the relationship between market structure and patterns of governance in the global financial system. This 2011 PhD thesis argues that both public and private actors exert agency on markets and in the policymaking process in a simultaneous fashion, offering a innovative explanation for the dynamics of the global financial system.
