With the world's financial architecture having been revealed in the 2008 financial meltdown as insufficient for safely managing risk and the world's regulators as failing to have recognized or
addressed the problems associated with financial markets, this collection of 15 articles, edited by Delimatsis (Tilburg U., the Netherlands) and Herger (U. of Bern, Switzerland) addresses
select issues of financial regulatory reform. Including contributions from academic lawyers and economists, as well as practitioners from international organizations, national regulators, and
commercial banking, papers discuss such topics as the redefinition of banking supervision and market discipline, the pattern of international financial contagion, the role of trade regulation
during the global financial crisis and the meaning of the prudential carve-out, and the regulation of credit-rating agencies. Kluwer Law International is now Wolters Kluwer Law & Business.
