A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

With the effects of the latest financial crisis still unfolding, this engaging book provides a timely analysis of the politics of international financial reform. By comparing the policies the international community requested the IMF to follow in the aftermath of the Mexican, Asian and subprime crises, the book traces the evolution of the international regulatory framework from an agent-centered constructivist perspective. Moschella s extensive research leads her to draw important connections between changing ideas, fluctuating economic conditions and the outcomes of the Fund s policies. The book also investigates the inner-workings of the Fund, revealing how IMF staff exert their influence over member states. This is a must-read for everyone interested in global financial regulation and policy change in a rapidly changing international context.
