Fragmentation in International Financial Regulation: Rethinking Financial Regulation for a Multipolar World
Summary
International standard-setting bodies emerged as the central response to the intensification of cross-border activities. However, shortcomings in their design, the growing fragmentation of markets, and contextual changes – such as the US’ hostility towards multilateralism, the impacts of Brexit, the increasing influence of countries such as China, and nascent markets such as Fintech and Sustainable Finance – point to transformations in international financial regulation. As network governance faces greater constraints, it is fundamental to identify additional and complementary pathways for facilitating cross-border coordination and cooperation in contentious environments; for managing fragmentation and divergence. This thesis builds on the work on market fragmentation produced by the FSB, IOSCO, and the IMF to understand how international financial regulation can be improved for a multipolar context.
