Dear all, See below for a CfP on global economic regulation. Ian *SGIR 2010 Section 17. Changing Tide in Global Economic Regulation? The Crisis and Global Economic Governance* Proposed Panel: *Does global finance need global regulation? International and National responses to the financial crisis* Panel Convenor: Dr. Johnna Montgomerie Research Fellow ESRC Centre for Research on Socio-Cultural Change (CRESC) University of Manchester Email: [log in to unmask] This panel considers how calls for more coordinated international regulation compare to existing, and proposed, national regulatory reform agendas. This includes, at the international level, efforts to include G20 nations into the reform agenda, the redefining of institutions like the IMF, public-private rule making bodies like the IASB and BASEL committee, as well as efforts to create a new Bretton Woods style treaty. When we compare this to multiple national regulatory reform agendas we begin to see why meaningful ideational and institutional change is an unlikely result, even in light of the potential catastrophic outcomes. Also there are the emerging geopolitical dynamics between creditor and debtor nations, which clash with the established geopolitical power structure. This panel invites individual papers that explore either international or national financial reform agendas which speak to the overall theme of the section: is the tide changing in global economic regulation?
