Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Legal Challenges in the Global Financial Crisis: Bail-outs the Euro and Regulation 2014 by Edited by Professor Wolf-Georg Ringe Edited by Professor Dr Peter M Huber
The global financial and economic crisis which started in 2008 has had devastating effects around the globe. It has caused a rethinking in different areas of law and posed new challenges to regulators and private actors alike. One of the emerging issues is the apparent eclipse of boundaries between different legal disciplines: financial and corporate lawyers have to learn how public law instruments can complement their traditional governance tools; conversely public lawyers have had to come to understand the specificities of the financial markets they intend to regulate.While commentary on financial regulation and the global financial crisis abounds it tends to remain within disciplinary boundaries. This volume not only brings together scholarship from different areas of law (constitutional and administrative law EU law financial law and regulation) but also from a variety of backgrounds (the academy practice and policy-making) and a number of different jurisdictions.The volume illustrates how interdisciplinary scholarship belongs at the centre of any discussion of the economic crisis and indeed regulation theory more generally. This is a timely exploration of cutting-edge issues of financial regulation.
