Globalisation, the crisis and the state: Introduction

This challenging and timely book revisits the relationship between globalisation, the crisis and the state from an interdisciplinary perspective, with law, economics and political science underpinning the analysis.
Financial Stability After the Global Financial Crisis: Globalisation, Nationalism and the Potential Demise of a Rules-Based Order
We are very pleased to contribute to this festschrift for our friend and colleague Prof Mary Hiscock to honour her life time’s work in comparative and international law. Both of us have had a long association with Mary, in the case of John, one going back to the 1980s. We have both enjoyed interesting and stimulating conversations with Mary on various aspects of comparative and international law, and this chapter was inspired by our shared interests and friendships.
