The Law of Sovereign Wealth Funds

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'Bassan provides a remarkable compendium on the relevant laws, regulations, and standards affecting sovereign wealth funds. These institutions are now at the very centre of the global financial system and demand greater appreciation of their distinctive qualities as well as their likely implications for nation-states and the global economy. Bassan's book is a unique contribution to understanding the governance and regulation of these institutions and will be an important resource book for those who must grapple with the growing power and global scope of these institutions.' -- Gordon L. Clark, University of Oxford, UK and Monash University, Australia This book is not the final word on the law of sovereign wealth funds (SWFs) but it should be the first word: the place any researcher should start their research. It is sensible, comprehensive, and balanced and it is the first monograph-length analysis of this topic of which I am aware. . . anyone wanting to understand the law that governs SWFs could do no better than by starting with this book. . . It is essential reading for all policy makers in the field, and for all who practise in this area of law, or who seek to study it.' -- Ross P. Buckley, Journal of International Economic Law '[A] work that is both important, and likely to become foundational in the field that has yet to fully define itself. Bassan has helped take an important step in that direction. Bravo.' -- Larry Cata Backer, Law at the End of the Day blog
