The global scope of the changes in the international financial and monetary systems ensured that no nation-state could protect itself from their effects. The quarter-century, 1970-95, included the most extensive legislative overhaul of financial services policy since the Great Depression, if not the greatest set of changes ever. This book examines how five such states - Canada, France, Germany, UK, USA - adapted by reforming their financial services policies.

"Financial Globalization and Domestic Policy Autonomy in Latin America" published on by Oxford University Press.

We explore the relationship between international policy coordination and domestic policy credibility when both must be self-supporting. Our arguments are presented in the context of a two-country, two-period model of dynamic emission abatement with transboundary pollution, where government policies suffer from a time-consistency problem. In the absence of repeated interaction, any form of coordination - between governments, and between governments and their respective private sectors - improves policy making. Nevertheless, under repeated interaction international policy spillovers can make it possible to overcome the domestic credibility problem; and, conversely, the inability to precommit to policy domestically can help support international policy cooperation.

The article examines the policies of the United States and the EU regarding Georgian domestic policies. It identifies reasons for Georgia's deviations from its democratic path, a country whose regional importance to the United States has significantly increased amidst severe confrontations with Russia. The article analyzes the current situation in Georgia before its parliamentary elections, scheduled for the fall of 2024. It discusses the assertive and proactive policies of both Washington and the European Union acting together within the Transatlantic Partnership format. However, we can see a consistency of Washington's policy in the region, particularly evident in its approach toward Georgia in the context of the United States' growing interest in the region, underscored by the strategic importance of Black Sea coastal countries amidst the current tensions between the Russian Federation and the West.

THIS ARTICLE DRAWS TOGETHER THE THEMES DEVELOPED IN PREVIOUS ARTICLES FROM THIS JOURNAL AND USES THESE TO DEVELOP NEW IDEAS ON HOW SUB-NATIONAL ENGAGEMENT WITH EUROPEAN DECISION-MAKING CAN BE BETTER UNDERSTOOD. IT EVALUATES THE RESPECTIVE SIGNIFICANCE OF BOTH EXTRA-STATE CHANNELS OF ACCESS OF SUB-NATIONAL AUTHORITIES TO EUREOPAN DECISION-MAKING PROCESSES, AND INTRA-STATE CHANNELS ROUTED THROUGH THE INSTITUTIONS OF THE MEMBER STATE. IT CONCLUDES THAT INTRA-STATE CHANNELS ALLOW MORE SCOPE FOR REAL INFLUENCE OVER THE EUROPEAN DECISION-MAKING PROCESS, AND THEN PRESENTS A FRAMEWORK OF ANALYZING THESE INTRA-STATE CHANNELS WHICH IS BASED ON THE CONCEPT OF "EUROPEAN DOMESTIC POLICY".

These Words Spoken By President Clinton At His Inauguration on 20 January 1993 can usefully serve as a leitmotif for the present issue of the journal Government and Opposition. The issue is itself the outcome of a conference organized by the journal and the Department of Government of the University of Manchester. The theme was the 'Influences of Domestic and International Factors on Processes of Policy-Making'. However, this title does not quite catch the interactive quality of the phenomenon which the group was seeking to examine. Increasingly, it has been contended, policies at the domestic level whether in what we once called the first, second or third worlds are being profoundly influenced by international or 'global' considerations. But it is also the case that international agreements are being accommodated to the sensitivities of the domestic politics of the partners.
