Krisen scheinen ein maßgebliches Kennzeichen der westlichen Moderne zu sein. Die Autoren des Bandes betrachten Krisen aus kulturvergleichender und historischer Perspektive und analysieren sie dabei als soziale Konstrukte, als Wahrnehmungen, Erfahrungen oder auch als Diskurse. Sie zeigen, wie Krisen die Vorstellungen und Strukturen von Gesellschaften rasch und unerwartet von Grund auf verändern können. Und sie machen deutlich, dass jede Krise zugleich auch Ausdruck der Gesellschaft ist, in der sie erscheint

Explores why some financial crises appear to be contagious, and why some financial markets in emerging market countries appear to be vulnerable to contagion whereas others are not. The authors analyze multicountry crisis episodes from January 1989 to August 1997 and develop four informal models of transition mechanisms: (1) "Economic linkages" describes the case where a foreign financial crisis acts as a common shock to countries with strong economic linkages to the country in crisis; (2) "heightened awareness" suggests that investors with incomplete information may ignore poor economic conditions in some countries until a crisis occurs somewhere else, at which point they dump their investments in those countries; (3) "portfolio adjustment" describes what happens when liquidity-constrained portfolio managers sell off other countries' assets in order to meet an expected increase in redemptions from a country in crisis; (4) "herd behavior" is probably the most widely accepted view of contagion, suggesting that investors abandon their investments largely in response to what they think other investors are doing. Finally, case studies of Argentina, South Africa, and Thailand illustrate the usefulness of the models.

The banking crises in 2007-10 are not exceptional. There have been many such crises in the past in both developed countries and emerging economies. A banking crisis can be related to solvency or liquidity (or both). This book focuses on banking crisis and liquidity. This book starts from basics and gradually builds up with very few technicalities. Though the analysis is primarily theoretical, we provide a historical background, a macroeconomic perspective, and policy implications for both closed and open economies.
