Divided into seven comprehensive sections, this volume will help you gain a deeper understanding of sovereign debt, through discussions of: The overarching theory of sovereign debt and the levels of debt nations can sustain Sovereign debt and financial crises The management of sovereign debt and the interaction between sovereign debt and other obligations of the state, such as pensions How changes in sovereign debt ratings affect stock markets The legal and contractual dimensions of restructurings and defaults Whether sovereign defaulters are really punished While the saga of sovereign debt has many chapters, understanding them is now more important than ever. Engaging and informative, this timely guide will help you put many of the issues associated with this area of international finance in perspective. Zusammenfassung An intelligent analysis of the dangers, opportunities, and consequences of global sovereign debt Sovereign debt is growing internationally at a terrifying rate, as nations seek to prop up their collapsing economies.
