Launch of Responding
to Crises: The Past, Present, and Future of International Financial
Institutions, May 2011
STAIR
launched last May its latest issue featuring a section on “Responding to
Crises: The Past, Present, and Future of International Financial Institutions”
(Volume 7, Number 1). Following the financial crisis of
2008-09, policymakers and
scholars have been forced to recognize that the model of finance-led growth
that came to dominate Western societies, which was increasingly exported
across the globe during the 1980s and 1990s, and which came to shape the
basic international financial architecture, has very real limits. Pulling together
a series of articles from eminent senior scholars, as well as emerging
academics, plus interviews with a leading analyst in Harold James, and an
experienced public figure in the Right Honourable Paul Martin, the issue
aims to shed light on both the continuity
and change emerging from this recognition.
The issue is available on IngentaConnect.
