 Eatwell,
John and Taylor, Lance (2002, eds.) International Capital Markets,
New York: Oxford University Press
This title is
comprised of 19 commissioned articles which are mainly focused on
the timely global issues of volatility in equity and foreign exchange
markets and the regulatory scene in developed and emerging markets.
The papers provide a cutting-edge overview of general issues regarding
world capital markets, experience in developing countries, and capital
market regulation, which many economists believe could turn into
the number one topic in international business and economics very
soon. The articles were financed with grants from the Ford Foundation
to New School University and the University of Cambridge. These
subjects are important to professionals in the banking/financial
services sectors, regulators and policy makers at the government
level, think tanks, and graduate level college courses in international
financial markets and international economics.

 Taylor,
Lance (ed., 2001) External Liberalization, Economic Performance,
and Social Policy, New York: Oxford University Press
This book reports
on a fundamental economic policy shift in transition and developing
countries after the mid-1980s. Since that time the liberalization
of international trade and finance has been among the principal
forces for increasing global integration. Looking at the experiences
of nine countries--Argentina, Columbia, Cuba, India, Mexico, Russia,
Korea, Turkey, and Zimbabwe--and the often negative effects that
liberalization has had on them, the contributors include policy
recommendations for often-overlooked problems and challenges posed
by globalization.

 Eatwell,
John and Taylor, Lance (2000) Global Finance at Risk: The Case
for International Regulation. New York: New Press.
Expansion of
finance in industrialized economies, including that of the nineteenth-century
United States, was accompanied by the same kind of turbulence now
afflicting Asia, Russia, and Latin America. Then, the solution was
to establish national banking and securities regulators, create
deposit insurance, and empower lenders of last resort. But in our
increasingly globalized times, an account opened at a local bank
can be based on bad debt from anywhere in the world, including places
outside the jurisdiction of those national agencies. And when banks
fail, it is not only their account holders who suffer, but all of
us. This is why, argue John Eatwell and Lance Taylor in this timely
and urgent book, effective regulation of international finance is
crucial to the economic health of all nations. Global Finance at
Risk casts a welcome light on the deepening intricacies of world
financial systems.
