Australian Banking and Finance Law and Regulation provides a comprehensive, up-to-date and accessible introduction to the complexities of contemporary law and regulation of banking and financial sectors in one volume. The book provides a detailed analysis of Australia's financial market regulatory framework and the theoretical underpinnings of government intervention in the field. It delves into the legal changes implemented in response to the Global Financial Crisis and recent local scandals, exploring the complexities and subtleties of the 'banker-customer' relationship. Readers will appreciate the clear and concise treatment of key issues, cases and examples that offer an overview of major developments. The questions and answers at the end of each chapter serve as an effective tool for readers to assess and reinforce their grasp of the fundamental principles discussed.

This open access book is the first of its kind to address a question of both theoretical and practical significance: how do countries or entities approach economic cooperation in the face of vexing political concerns and overlapping sovereignty claims? Built upon three contemporary case studies on North-South Korea, China-Taiwan, and North-South Cyprus – representative pairs of ‘divided nations’, broadly defined – the book explores from both an empirical and a conceptual perspective the underlying factors, approaches and patterns that influence the economic relationship between the two sides.The book examines complex dynamics and identifies critical factors across the case studies, making a timely contribution to debates surrounding sovereignty, democracy and legitimacy in the context of international economic laws given the shifting geopolitical landscape. It further informs countries that do not share the same features of divided nations but nonetheless experience diplomatic crises or military conflicts, which render their economic cooperation sensitive and strenuous.This book is a must-read for researchers, trade lawyers, and students in international law and international relations. It also serves as a valuable asset for negotiators, diplomats and policymakers, providing crucial insights for making decisions that can either escalate or de-escalate geopolitical conflicts.The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.
