Both the rules and the enforcement of financial regulation are inevitably shaped by larger political forces. This panel will explore both the successes and the failures of recent financial regulatory reforms in overcoming political pressures, and the prospect that new reforms might advance the depoliticization of financial regulation. It will also examine what is at stake in this debate, and how the interaction of politics and financial regulation can result in clear winners and losers, for groups of individuals, types of institutions, and different regulatory systems. Finally, it will reflect on the potential dangers of delinking politics and financial regulation.

The Section held a virtual business meeting in advance of the Annual Meeting.
