`This fine book sheds new light on the interaction of dynamic
financial markets and the structures of corporate governance. The
authors take us far beyond conventional treatments of institutional
convergence and divergence. Their broadly interdisciplinary
approach yields compelling arguments, innovative empirical tests,
and appropriately nuanced conclusions. The Geography of Finance
will certainly engage a wide range of expert readers, but students
and
non-specialists interested in the future of global capitalism will
find it accessible as well.'

Governance and Director of the Centre for International Studies,
