Go Back

In the wake of the global financial crisis and the passage of landmark financial reform legislation in the United States, debates continue about the core objectives of regulating finance, the relative importance of competing objectives and the relative competences of competing local, national and international regulators.  The section program will assess recent reform efforts in context, to shed light on the choices inherent in determining who gets to regulate whom, how, and for whose sake.  We will consider the relationships among regulation, finance, and its economic, political and social context; and try to shift the terms of theoretical and policy debates to chart the path ahead. 

This panel complements the Section Breakfast Roundtable on the structure, function and institutional design for financial regulation.  The following works were selected from the Call for Papers by a committee of Section officers,
