Eichengreen (U. of California at Berkeley, US) and Park (Korea Institute for International Economic Policy, South Korea) present eight chapters that explore the responses of national
governments and international economic institutions to the global financial crisis of 2008-9 and consider avenues for international policy reform. Chapters address the dynamics of financial
reform, the role of the World Trade Organization in inhibiting protectionism, the role of the International Monetary Fund, international coordination among the Group of 20, the resilience of
emerging markets, current challenges for emerging Asian countries, and government debt as a long-term challenge for advanced countries. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
