The intent of this collection of papers is to provide an updated and systematic discussion of the relationship between central banks, financial regulation, and supervision following the current
financial crisis. They address three key issues: the compatibility of monetary and financial stability, how it relates to the changing nature of central banking, and the structure of financial
regulation and supervision. A sampling of topics includes: monetary policy lessons from the crisis, central bank governance as the next frontier, the evolving role of communications as a policy
instrument, defining and measuring systemic risk, quality of financial sector regulation and supervision around the world, and the changing face of financial supervision architectures before
and after the crisis. The book will interest policymakers, academics, and practitioners. Editors Eijffinger (European Banking Center, Tilburg U., Netherlands), Masciandaro (economics, Bocconi
U., Italy), and 29 co-authors contributed to the book. Annotation �穢2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
