Principles of Banking Regulation

Reviews / Votes

'Professor Kern Alexander brings to this subject an exceptional array of talents, including law, economics and policy, on a grand and sweeping international and philosophical scale. He brings to the subject profound scholarship and a strong sense of pragmatic realities. Some have said that this topic has grown so vast and unmanageable over recent years that it is impossible for one person to cover the subject. Professor Kern has done just that with verve and insight: he has conquered the subject.' Philip R. Wood, Yorke Distinguished Visiting Fellow, University of Cambridge, and Queen Mary University, London 'Professor Alexander's Principles of Banking Regulation is a truly contemporary book, and will lead the field, highlighting issues such as sustainability, environmental protection and fintech, where finance surely can and must take a lead.' Sir William Blair 'With breathtaking clarity and scope, Kern Alexander weaves institutional law, regulatory policy and even history into one concise volume covering a range of key jurisdictions. This guide will be a treasure for students, scholars and practitioners - a rare feat.' Chris Brummer, Agnes N. Williams Research Professor, Georgetown University and Institute of International Economic Law 'Authoritative and wide-ranging, [Principles of Banking Regulation] is a sure-footed guide through the complexities of banking regulation and current controversies. A must-read for students of banking law as well as all those interested in how the current regulatory regime has developed and how it is likely to evolve.'

Guillaume Sarrat de Tramezaigues, Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris 'Essential reading for any student interested in the developments in the field in the aftermath of the global financial crisis.
