Dalhuisen on Transnational and Comparative Commercial, Financial and Trade Law Volume 6 - 8th Edition by Jan H Dalhuisen (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

"... a wide-ranging, historically and comparatively very deep and comprehensive commentary, but which is also very contemporary and forward-looking on many or most of the issues relevant in modern transnational commercial, contract and financial transactions" (International and Comparative Law Quarterly)

Volume 6 of this new edition deals with financial regulation of banks and banking activities and products. It critically reviews micro-prudential regulation, the need for macro-prudential supervision and an independent macro-prudential supervisor, the role of resolution authorities, the operation of the shadow banking system, and the extraterritorial reach and international recognition of financial regulation.

The volume considers in particular the fallout from the 2008 financial crisis and the subsequent regulatory responses in the US and Europe.

The complete set in this magisterial work is made up of 6 volumes. Used independently, each volume allows the reader to delve into a particular topic. Alternatively, all volumes can be read together for a comprehensive overview of transnational comparative commercial, financial and trade law.
