China’S Response To The Global Financial Crisis: Implications For U.S. – China Economic Relations , Daniel C.K. Chow
Global Business Law Review
The consequences of the global financial crisis for United States-China economic relations are still unfolding, and it is still unclear whether trade tensions will escalate into trade sanctions. What seems clear, however, is that there is a rising tide of protectionism in both countries based upon what hardliners on each side perceive to be unfair practices and policies implemented by the other. Historically, mutual policies of protectionism between trading partners leads to trade sanctions, which would be an unfortunate result for United States-China economic relations. It remains to be seen whether hardliners in both countries will push the two trading …

In the dark days of the ensuing months, in the United States (U.S.), in Britain and Europe, and in many other parts of the world, markets crashed or severely slumped, commercial and investment banks failed, credit froze, trade and commerce slowed dramatically, profits evaporated, businesses tightened belts, and unemployment figures skyrocketed. In most major economic zones, including the U.S. and Europe, governments and central banks, often in consultation with each other over …

The reaction of governments of the GCC was similar to the reaction of governments in the West − support of financial institutions and provisions of liquidity to the financial markets. Islamic finance has established itself as an important component of the commercial and financial sectors in these countries, so it is interesting to examine whether this segment of the …

Piigs, Itraxx Soyx, Neoliberalism, And Unshackled Finance Capital, Tayyab Mahmud Ph.D.
Global Business Law Review
Banking and finance play a critical role in the economy by channeling savings towards productive investments. By the early twentieth century the lessons were learned that, left to its own devices, finance capital tends towards unbridled speculation and ends up playing havoc with the economy. The collective response was a Keynesian compromise whereby finance capital was regulated both nationally and internationally to put a check on speculation and to channel it to support the productive economy. The result was an extended period of economic growth and stability. Over the last thirty years, the neoliberal counter revolution reversed these regimes and …
