Review of the hardback: 'Written in the midst of an emergency that nearly brought down the global economy, the chapters in this timely and cohesive book range widely over a vital arena where the legitimacy and effectiveness of key policies are now highly debatable. The editors gathered many of the world's best analysts to set out and critically examine the post-crisis reform agenda. The result will reward the careful attention of scholars, students, and practitioners alike.' Louis W. Pauly, Canada Research Chair in Globalization and Governance and Director of the Centre for International Studies, University of Toronto; Editor, International Organization
Review of the hardback: 'The global financial crisis has demonstrated the weaknesses of international financial governance. The emergence of the G20 is one response, but just a promising beginning. This book offers a wide range of timely lessons from history, political economy and finance to guide us in exploring new paths to a safer international financial system. It is a fine example of how research can inform policy.' Richard Portes, Professor of Economics, London Business School
