Reviews

In Debating the Global Financial Architecture, a dozen distinguished political scientists and economists assess the state of the contemporary international financial system. They eschew facile policy recommendations in favor of serious analyses of global financial relations, and of the broad implications of the reform proposals policymakers have been wrestling with. The book contains an intelligent and integrated set of essays that will be of interest to all those who want a better understanding of current international financial policy debates. - Jeffry A. Frieden, Harvard University The debate over the international financial architecture has been contentious, ranging from those who would abolish the International Monetary Fund in the name of free markets to advocates of capital controls. This excellent volume gathers a prestigious and well-balanced group of economists and political scientists to review the issues, including regional perspectives from Latin America, Europe and Asia. Timely and useful. - Stephan Haggard, University of California, San Diego
