However, there are addi- tional codes beginning with ‘X’ that are requested by the European Commission for some statistics and the breakdown of countries may vary between datasets. For bank related data it is import- ant to have separate data for Guernsey, Jersey and Isle of Man, whereas researchers of the real economy have an interest in small territories like Ceuta and Melilla that are not always covered by ISO-3166. Countries that are treated differently in different statistics are described below. These are – United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland – France – Spain – Former Yugoslavia – Serbia United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

  • Global Monetary Governance
    Global Monetary Governance Benjamin J. Cohen has long been recognized as one of the world’s leading authorities on the political economy of international money and finance. This book provides an overview of his contribution to the field, grouped around the central theme of global monetary governance. Divided into three sections, the first four essays address the changing nature of challenges to international monetary management, with particular emphasis on the impact of financial liberalization on efforts to promote monetary reform or cooperation. These papers stress the extent to which the role of states in systemic governance has been transformed by the accelerating growth of private capital mobility. A second set of essays turns to efforts to deal effectively with financial crises, exploring the reciprocal influences between governments and banks in the management of international debt problems. Case studies include the Asian financial crisis and several other key instances of instability in world markets. The final set of essays addresses implications of the remarkable growth in recent years of cross-border currency competition – the “new geography of money,” where governing authority appears to be exercised now more by market forces than by sovereign states. Cohen concludes by evaluating the merits and prospects of alternative policy options available to governments and explores some of the geopolitical ramifications involved. The papers are placed in historical and intellectual context by an introduction outlining the development of Cohen’s thought. Global Monetary Governance will be useful to all students of international political economy or international money/finance. Benjamin J. Cohen is Louis G. Lancaster Professor of International Political Economy, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA.
