Böcker i Global Economic Institutions-serien

The Asian and Argentinian financial crises have focused attention on the most appropriate shape and role for international and national financial institutions. This volume offers a wide-ranging overview of the problems and possible policy responses. Although the approach is multi-disciplinary, most of the contributors write from a political economy perspective.

It analyses the Asian and Argentine financial crises of the late 1990s, issues of policy ownership, the more general quest for financial stability and governance of the IMF. It is an essential reference for anyone interested in the role of international financial institutions in our globalised economy.

The first theoretical analysis of the Asian financial crisis. It starts by presenting a factual and analytic overview of what happened, goes on to consider: why crisis turned into collapse, the onset of speculative attacks, contagion, and finishes with a round table discussion of policy issues.

One of the greatest assets of the World Bank is its accumulated knowledge and experience of the development process. This book proposes reorganisation as a 'Knowledge Bank'. Part I examines the World Bank as an institution, examining its structure. In Part II the effectiveness of World Bank assistance is evaluated.

This book was the first in a major series examining Global Economic Institutions and contrasts regional economic integration in the Asia Pacific Region and in Europe. An international team of contributors consider a number of important contemporary policy questions which arise in the light of these contrasts.
