Additional text
Emily Jones' edited collection explores how the governments of poor countries encounter and respond to global regulatory regimes. The study thus probes the exuberance — often real but sometimes staged — with which eleven case study countries have adopted enhanced Basel standards, a regulatory framework prepared by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS).
