Comparative Financial Regulation investigates the key drivers of divergence and convergence in financial regulation and analyses the consequences in terms of market efficiency, investor protection and financial stability. It adopts a broad view of the financial system and promotes a functional understanding of the regulation of securities markets, banks, derivatives and payments.
Emphasising the importance of a comparative approach to financial regulation, contributing authors present critical examinations across a variety of national jurisdictions in Asia, the Americas and Europe, going beyond the black-letter comparison of different national regulatory regimes. They present a comprehensive overview of how the level of cross-border convergence and divergence varies across sectors of the financial system. Chapters cover the latest regulatory developments related to blockchain and sustainable finance and explore how sectors of the financial system are adapting to current challenges such as geopolitical risk, climate change and cyber warfare.
Providing analytical tools to understand and interpret financial regulation, this Research Handbook is invaluable to students and academics in comparative law, finance and banking law, financial economics, and regulation and governance. It is also an important resource for practitioners in the field.

‘Finance has become global, but financial regulation has remained more heterogeneous than was predicted two decades ago, when the “end of history” was en vogue. This book gives a much needed accessible introduction to regulatory choices and structures in different parts of the world.’
– Katharina Pistor, Columbia University, USA
‘Financial regulation has always been an important field, but it is particularly so now given increasing globalization, new technologies, and continuing financial institution scandals and failures. This volume, with its felicitous combination of depth and breadth in coverage, including on topics such as micro- and macroprudential regulation, stock exchange competition, mandatory disclosure, conduct of business rules, sustainability, and cryptocurrencies, and its sophisticated yet accessible use of policy-relevant theory, is an important and timely overview of the field.’
