Download or read book Financial Services, Globalization and Domestic Policy Change written by William Donald Coleman and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global scope of the changes in the international financial and monetary systems ensured that no nation-state could protect itself from their effects. The quarter-century from 1970 to 1995 included the most extensive legislative overhaul of financial services policy since the Great Depression, if not the greatest set of changes ever. This book examines how such states - Canada, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States - adapted by reforming their financial services policies. By adaptation, the book refers to their ability to devise policy strategies that create an open and democratic policy process, that protect consumers of financial services and that give governments some continuing control over domestic financial services markets.
