The political economy of financial regulation / edited by Emilios Avgouleas and David C. Donald.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

This edited volume examines the legal, economic, and political dimensions of financial regulation in the aftermath of global financial instability. Bringing together contributions from leading scholars and practitioners, the book explores how financial markets are shaped by legal frameworks, political interests, institutional structures, and international economic forces. Topics include banking regulation, market efficiency, regulatory capture, international coordination, consumer financial protection, financial crises, and state capitalism. With case studies ranging from the European Union and the United States to China and emerging economies, the work provides a comprehensive analysis of contemporary financial governance and the evolving relationship between law, markets, and public policy.
