Strategies of Financial Regulation

This book explores financial regulation, particularly regulation on misselling of over-the-counter derivatives, which has been a pressing issue in many jurisdictions since the 1990s. To do so it applies the accumulated theories of comparative law and regulations to conduct of business regulation to analyze the causes of regulatory failure and to suggest measures for improvement. Despite regular misselling disputes in over-the-counter-derivative transactions, there is a significant lack of comparative law research on financial regulation and almost none focusing on conduct of business regulation. This process also allows the validity of existing regulatory theories to be tested.The book makes a significant contribution to the academic literature in jurisdictions where the failure of the conduct of business regulations and the causes have not been sufficiently been analyzed.
