Summary
Summary
Out of the debate over the effectiveness of the policy responses to the 2008 global financial crisis as well as over the innovativeness of global governance comes this collection by leading academics and practitioners who explore the dynamics of economic crisis and impact. Edited by Paolo Savona, John J. Kirton, and Chiara Oldani Global Financial Crisis: Global Impact and Solutions examines the nature of the recent crisis, its consequences in major regions and countries, the innovations in the ideas, instruments and institutions that constitute national and regional policy responses, building on the G8's response at its L'Aquila Summit. Experts from Africa, North America, Asia and Europe examine the implications of those responses for international cooperation, coordination and institutional change in global economic governance, and identify ways to reform and even replace the architecture created in the mid 20th century in order to meet the global challenges of the 21st.

This volume provides a broad international overview of the great recession by a wide range of academics and economists from all over the world. Each chapter focuses on a specific country or region of the world and explains the causes of the great recession; the consequences on the economy; the vulnerabilities of the economy to the great recession; and steps taken by the government to deal with the problems. The volume also examines issues of governance at the international level (IMF, G20, etc.) and concludes with a section on policy recommendations. Readers interested in getting a first glance at the international aspects of the financial crisis will find this work useful. A good complement to this book is the Banking Crisis Handbook, edited by Greg N Gregoriou (2009). Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students, researchers, and faculty. E.
