The 2010 Banking Law Symposium, held in April at Texas Tech University, focused on managing systematic risk in the industry. The 25 papers cover systematic risk, sovereign debt, addressing the
problem of "too big to fail," cross-border issues, prudential regulation, and country case studies. The topics include whether forbearance as far as the eye can see saved the US economy,
Iceland's financial disaster and its fiscal impact, whether alternative resolution regimes really can remedy systemic risk in the insolvency of large financial institutions, issues raised by
the US experience with dual banking for creating a European Union level supervisor for cross-border banking groups, the performance of the Canadian financial safety net during the global
financial crisis, and the Malaysian model of the Islamic deposit insurance system. Annotation 穢2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
