The Event

China has become integrated into a variety of international economic regimes. Its integration into the world of global finance has been relatively slow and generated severe tensions. In this talk, Professor Kennedy will explore the challenges of greater Chinese involvement in a range of financial regimes, including those governing equity investment, securities investment, credit ratings, exchange rates, and the IMF’s SDR basket.

The language of the event will be English.
