NO MIRACLE

Global Finance Series

Edited by
John Kirton, University of Toronto, Canada,
Michele Fratianni, Indiana University, USA and
Paolo Savona, University of Rome Guglielmo Marconi, Italy

The intensifying globalization of the twenty-first century has brought a myriad of new managerial and political challenges for governing international finance. The return of synchronous global slowdown, mounting developed country debt, and new economy volatility have overturned established economic certainties. Proliferating financial crises, transnational terrorism, currency consolidation, and increasing demands that international finance should better serve public goods such as social and environmental security, have all arisen to compound the problem.

The new public and private international institutions that are emerging to govern global finance have only just begun to comprehend and respond to this new world. Embracing international financial flows and foreign direct investment, in both the private and public sector dimensions, this series focuses on the challenges and opportunities faced by firms, national governments, and international institutions, and their roles in creating a new system of global finance.

Acknowledgements

I am indebted to so many people who have contributed in so many ways that it is impossible to thank them adequately and I regret not being able to mention all of their names or to thank them all personally. Most of all, I would like to thank my family, to whom this book is dedicated, and without whose love, patience and perseverance it would not have been possible to complete. I am extremely grateful, in particular, to Michael Trebilcock of the University of Toronto for all of his help and support. Words fail to express fully my appreciation of his guidance, insights and encouragement. I am also very grateful to Katharina Pistor of Columbia University and Edward Iacobucci and Mariana Mota Prado of the University of Toronto for their invaluable suggestions and comments upon reading drafts of my doctoral dissertation, as well as Kevin Davis of New York University who reviewed early drafts of several chapters.

The University of Toronto, School of Graduate Studies was generous in awarding travel grants to me to conduct research in Malaysia and Singapore. I am thankful to all those who have taken the time to meet with me and for their generosity in sharing their insights with me. I would especially like to thank Francis Loh of University Sains Malaysia, Boonler Somchit of the Penang Skills Development Centre, K. Gopalan, formerly of the Penang Development Corporation, Y. T. Tan, Honorary Consul for Canada in Penang, Rajah Rasiah of the University of Malaya, S. Gopinathan of the National Institute of Education, Singapore, Wong Poh Kam of the National University of Singapore, Matti Pohjola of the Helsinki School of Economics and Peter Nunnenkamp of the Kiel Institute for the World Economy. This is but a short list of all those who have helped me.

I would also like to thank the entire team at Ashgate for making this book a reality, John Kirton, series editor and his colleague Madeline Koch, and Suzanne Leblanc for all of her efforts to impose a modicum of consistency upon my manuscript. All shortcomings, of course, remain my own.
