Editor: Jan Joost Teunissen Summary
Can regional financial arrangements help prevent financial crises in emerging and developing economies? Should these countries follow Western Europe's example by fixing the exchange rates to each other rather than to the dollar, the yen or the euro? Should the IMF and the World Bank become more supportive to regional monetary arrangements? In light of the recurring financial crises of the last eight years -- Mexico (1994), East Asia (1997), Russia (1998), Brazil (1999), Argentina (2001) - these questions are highly relevant for policymakers as well as the public at large. This book presents the views of prominent international experts and officials from different regions of the world. Contents
