With the effects of the latest financial crisis still unfolding, this engaging volume provides a timely analysis of the politics of international financial reform. By comparing the policies the international community requested the IMF to follow in the aftermath of the Mexican, Asian and subprime crises, the book traces the evolution of the international regulatory framework from an agent centered constructivist perspective. Moschella's extensive research leads her to draw important connections between changing ideas, fluctuating economic conditions and the outcomes of the Fund's policies. She also investigates the inner-workings of the Fund, revealing how IMF staff exert their influence over member states. Winner of the 2012 Italian Political Science Association (SISP) Book Prize for the Best Book in Political Science published by a member under forty in the period 2010-2012.
