Conference Overview One of the most striking trends within the global financial system over the past several decades has been the increasing degree of integration and interconnectedness. This trend has been driven by the promise of new markets, greater international risk sharing, lower macroeconomic volatility, and – perhaps most importantly – higher economic growth. Yet as painfully demonstrated by the global financial crisis of 2008, the subsequent European debt crisis, and the global volatility triggered most recently by developments in emerging markets and China, the theoretical promise of regional and global integration brings with it a number of potentially significant perils. These perils present important problems for policymakers, scholars, and practitioners in the field of financial regulation. Against this backdrop, the editors of the Journal of Financial Regulation have selected “Integration and Interconnectedness in Global Finance” as the theme of the Journal’s 2016 annual conference, with a particular emphasis on recent developments in Asia. This conference will seek to explore a broad range of topics including, but not limited to: emerging risks to financial stability stemming from increasing integration and interconnectedness, particularly in Europe, Asia, and emerging markets; the evolving role of international financial institutions, in particular the International Monetary Fund as international lenders of last resort; the development, role, and effectiveness of regional institutions such as the European Systemic Risk Board, European Banking Union, and ASEAN in promoting financial stability; the role of the Financial Stability Board, Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, and other international institutions in designing frameworks and promoting regulatory reform with the objective of promoting global financial stability; the potential role, influence and political importance of the newly created Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and New Development Bank; the potential impact of the internationalization of the Renminbi; how national authorities are approaching the challenges created by increasing integration and interconnectedness; and the nature and structure of cooperation between national authorities responsible for financial regulation. The conference organizers invite papers from scholars, policymakers, and practitioners on each of these topics, and on any other topic of relevance to the conference theme. The organizers encourage the submission of papers that examine these topics from an interdisciplinary, international and/or comparative perspective.
