The global financial and economic shock of 2007-09 is the third major economic crisis to have buffeted Cambodia in its post-conflict period, coming in the wake of the food crisis of 2007-08 and just a decade after the Asian financial crisis of 1997-98 (the "triple crises"). Cambodia's post-conflict history can be divided into two periods: 1991-98, referred to as the early phase of transition during which the first of the triple crises, the Asian financial crisis, occurred; and 1998 to the present, the late phase of transition during which the food and economic shocks transpired. A stocktake of the developments in Cambodia's post-conflict history suggests that the country has come a long way in reinstituting the foundations of a capitalist economic and procedural democracy but has yet to make significant headway in economic sophistication and substantive democracy. The triple crises were different, yet had similar characteristics. They were all exogenously-driven shocks with their own specific causes but their effects were shaped by the country's situation at the time. In terms of magnitude of impact, the global financial and economic downturn was the worst of the three crises. That it caused the first ever growth contraction in the post-conflict period was sufficient rationale for the series of studies that substantiate this book. Like the two shocks that preceded it however, the way it impacted on Cambodia cannot be understood in isolation from the overall post-conflict milieu. The thesis here is not that endogenous factors caused the crisis. It is simply that endogenous factors shaped the impact of the crisis and a historical, as opposed to a static, analysis better illuminates the nature of the impact. This book is an in-depth comprehensive examination of the impact of the global financial and economic crisis on Cambodia. It probes into the effects of the shock at macro, sectoral and micro levels using qualitative and quantitative techniques.

Since the Lehmans debacle and the bailout of Halifax/Bank of Scotland and Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), there has been a Financial Services Authority report on the collapse of RBS but no equivalent enquiry into the drama at HBOS, and no comprehensive investigation into the whole banking crisis. This book is the definitive insider's guide to the UK banking crisis; the drama and characters involved in the astonishing collapse of some of the major pillars of British banking and the continuing impact on the economy. informed by those directly involved at Downing Street and the Bank of England.

Sous forme de 10 questions-réponses, des propositions de voies de sortie pour relancer la croissance et sauver l'euro.La zone euro inquiète par sa désunion et par l'appauvrissement d'une partie de sa population. Son échec à surmonter sa crise depuis 2010 se répercute sur toute l'Europe. Ne pas se résigner au déclin qu'entraînerait la poursuite du marasme actuel implique de changer de mentalité. Car l'absence de coopération de l'Allemagne pour soutenir la croissance de la zone euro réduit à néant les efforts de rigueur budgétaire des pays, dont la France, parce que les politiques d'austérité étouffent l'investissement productif.Il n'y a pas d'avenir pour qui est incapable d'investir. Il n'y a pas d'élan pour l'investissement innovant dans les pays qui se sont convertis à l'hégémonie de la finance et ont donc promu la rente financière et immobilière aux dépens du travail.L'Europe doit affronter les défis du xxie siècle en retrouvant son autonomie idéologique dans l'esprit communautaire des origines. Ce livre montre le besoin d'une vue de long terme tournée vers deux finalités : reconstruire un contrat social fondé sur un partenariat entrepreneurial et investir résolument dans la transition écologique.Cette ambition politique redonnera aux citoyens des pays membres un sentiment d'appartenance à une communauté plus large. Pour y parvenir il faut renforcer les institutions européennes sur les plans financier et budgétaire. C'est faire de l'euro une monnaie complète, parce que revêtue d'une légitimité démocratique.

This innovative book analyses the role played by real estate markets in global financial stability and examines the fragile link between the two. Through what transmission channels do housing market cycles influence broader economic systems? How has the Global Financial Crisis shifted our view and understanding of these linkages? This detailed book answers these questions in an international comparative perspective. Specific topics covered include macroeconomic transmission channels of the housing cycle, the role of housing in the finance system, construction financing as a cycle amplifier, and various related public policy issues such as the policy remedies needed to deal with housing and mortgage-driven crises. Eminent scholars in the field provide insightful and original contributions, which will appeal to academics in the areas of macroeconomics, policy analysis and financial regulation. Practitioners involved in real estate and the mortgage market will also find it to be of interest.

This book reveals how ordinary people in rich democracies responded to the Great Recession. Through cross-national statistical work and detailed case comparison, it surveys how the economic crisis affected elections, public opinion and protest behaviour between 2008 and 2011. It shows that incumbents were generally punished harshly at the polls regardless of whether they were of the left or right, yet it also reveals that citizens reacted to the recession with surprising moderation in other realms of mass politics.
