Reviews

This book is well written, well researched, well argued, and thought provoking. It is also highly topical, and as such is a most valuable contribution to the present debate on the form of regulation that we need for trans-border banking activity and is thus of considerable importance. JH Dalhuisen International and Comparative Law Quarterly October 2007
