Book Synopsis

In introducing seven papers and panel discussions from the title's namesake conference held in 2001, Kremers (economics, Erasmus U., Rotterdam) and his co-editors, who all work for the Ministry of Finance of the Netherlands, summarize themes concerning policy implications of trans-sector and trans-border financial market integration for regulation, supervision, and crisis management in the European Union. Contributors discuss structural aspects of the feasibility of a truly harmonious European market, offering some comparisons with the US. Annotation ©2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
