“Tony Porter has long been a leading scholar in examining and explaining the tangled webs of organization and politics that characterize global finance in the twenty-first century. These webs cut across and link the categories of public and private, domestic and international, market and hierarchy, and formal and informal institutions and processes. In a world that is both shrinking and yet developing more and more complex forms of multilevel governance, Globalization and Finance does double duty. It is both a textbook that introduces this potential minefield in clear and accessible terms, and a path-breaking exercise in paradigm-building.”<i>Philip G. Cerny, Rutgers University</i><br /> <br /> <p><br /> </p> <p>“Tony Porter’s Globalization and Finance covers everything you ever wanted to know on the subject: theory, data, history, policy, impacts and ethics. All is meticulously researched, thoughtfully analyzed, and lucidly written. Porter makes global finance both interesting and accessible. An empowering read!”<i>Jan Aart Scholte, University of Warwick</i><br /> </p> <p><br /> </p> <p>“Tony Porter not only tackles the most salient issues and approaches relating to the globalization of finance, but does so in a highly accessible manner. Students will find this book an invaluable introduction to the topic.”<br /> </p> <p><i>Susanne Soederberg, Queen’s University at Kingston, Ontario</i><br /> </p> <p>"<i>Tony Porter's</i> book presents an interesting viewpoint on globalisation and global finance....The narrative is a rich mixture of history, institutional economics, international finance and social science including political science."<br /> </p> <p><i>Asian Voice</i></p>
