The Legacy of the Global Financial Crisis
Much has been written on the financial crisis of 2008 – the most severe economic downturn since the Great Depression – analysing its causes and the risks for the future of the global economy. This book takes an alternative approach which focuses on the legacy of the global financial crisis, what is remembered and what lessons have been drawn from it. This volume provides perspectives on this legacy from a variety of contributors including central bankers, regulators, politicians, academics, and journalists. They offer insight into what remains of the crisis in terms of public and industry awareness, changes to the post-2008 financial architecture, lessons from the national experiences of highly exposed small economies, and considers this legacy in terms of oversight by regulatory regimes. These diverse perspectives are drawn together here to ask how we can ensure that these lessons will be transmitted to the new generation of global financiers.
Of Banks and Crises
Poor bankers! Poor economists! You won't see people at their windows and on their balconies clapping for members of these two professions. Economists are decried for never having anticipated crises. Blame is levelled at bankers, perceived as blind to the obvious and driven by greed. Given the constant trial by media to which the two professions are subjected, Cristina Peicuti's and Jacques Beyssade's book gives the floor to the defence. It is not because the authors are beholden to corporate interests, but because they are motivated by their desire to understand and take action. The relevance of these criticisms, occasional or recurrent, is not being challenged. The authors' purpose is to analyse the behaviours and mistakes that may have given rise to these reproofs, and identify changes that would enable both professions to contribute more effectively and in a timely manner to the common good.

Unphenomenal Shakespeare
In the aftermath of New Historicism and Cultural Materialism, the field of Shakespeare Studies has been increasingly overrun by post-theoretical, phenomenological claims. Many of the critical tendencies that hold the field today—post-humanism, speculative realism, ecocriticism, historical phenomenology, new materialism, performance studies, animal studies, affect studies—are consciously or unwittingly informed by phenomenological assumptions. This book aims at uncovering and examining these claims, not only to assess their philosophical congruency but also to determine their hermeneutic relevance when applied to Shakespeare. More specifically, Unphenomenal Shakespeare deploys resources of speculative critique to resist the moralistic and aestheticist phenomenalization of the Shakespeare playtexts across a variety of schools and scholars, a tendency best epitomized in Bruce Smith’s Phenomenal Shakespeare (2010).
La Gouvernance face à la Conformité
La gouvernance face à la conformité... Sujet sensible, vaste, imprécis aussi ! Qu'est-ce que la gouvernance ? Celle de l'Etat, des partis politiques, des institutions publiques, des entreprises privées, de ses actionnaires ? Qu-est-ce que la conformité ? Etre conforme mais à quoi ? A quelle éthique ? Et de quelles façons ? Grâce à la mise en place de procédures ou à l'instauration d'un nouvel état d'esprit ? Ou les deux ? La gouvernance et la conformité forment-elles aujourd'hui un duo inséparable ? Et quel duo ? Forcé ou volontaire ? Utile ou non ? La "gouvernance" a-t-elle pris conscience aujourd'hui de la nécessité de changer ses anciens modes de fonctionnement ? Voit-elle toujours dans la conformité une contrainte réglementaire ou, au contraire, une nouvelle éthique des affaires ? C'est ce que ce livre va tenter d'analyser dans "La Gouvernance face à la Conformité".
Behavioral Risk Management
The psychological dimension of managing risk is of crucial importance, and its study has led to the identification of specific do's and don'ts. Those with an understanding of the psychology underlying risk and the skills to recognize its manifestation in practice, have the opportunity to develop frameworks that embody the do's and don'ts, thereby producing sound judgments and good decisions. Those lacking the understanding and the skills are destined to be more hit and miss in their approach to risk management, doing the don'ts and not doing the do's. Virtually every major risk management catastrophe in the last fifteen years has psychological pitfalls at its root. The list of catastrophes i...
