Bank Politics: Structural Reform in Comparative Perspective by David Howarth
Requirements: .ePUB, .PDF reader, 9 MB
Overview: The problem of banks being ‘too big to fail’ was the defining regulatory issue of the global financial crisis. However, attempts to tackle the problem by separating retail banking from higher risk trading activities – known as structural reform – proved to be highly divisive and contributed to significant regulatory divergence. In this book, David Howarth and Scott James explain this variation by examining the politics of bank structural reform across six key
jurisdictions: the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and the Netherlands. Integrating political economy and public policy approaches, they develop a novel ‘comparative financial power’ framework to analyse how financial industry influence is mediated by two factors:
first, whether bank lobbying is unified and centralized (cooperative financial power) or divided and fragmented (competitive financial power); and second, policy makers’ use of venue shifting to depoliticize contentious policy issues.
