Since the beginning of the 1990s, Brazil has followed a pattern of economic development inspired by Washington Consensus. This framework includes a set of liberalising and market friendly policies such as privatisation, trade liberalization, stimulus to foreign direct investment, tax reform, and social security reforms. This book assesses the determinants and impacts of financial liberalisation in Brazil considering its two dimensions: the opening up of the balance of payments capital account, and the penetration by foreign bank of the domestic banking sector. The author combines theoretical and empirical analyses. Some make use of mathematical models and/or statistical techniques; however, they are only used when they are strictly necessary to the analysis.

This insightful book investigates how financial globalisation shapes the hierarchical order of currencies in the international monetary system, evaluating the implications for peripheral countries.Authors Luiz Fernando de Paula, Barbara Fritz and Daniela Magalhães Prates explore currency hierarchy through a new Keynesian-Structuralist perspective, highlighting how peripheral economies are subject to greater macroeconomic and financial volatility. They outline how the current hierarchy fosters global and national inequalities, limiting peripheral countries’ capacity to implement social and redistributive policies, and preventing them from achieving income parity. The book traces the historical evolution of the global monetary order, examines a new channel of external vulnerability, and illustrates the asymmetries between the two groups of peripheral countries, namely emerging market economies and frontier market economies. Adopting a forward-thinking approach, this book assesses potential policy shifts and their effectiveness in fostering growth, sustainability and equity.Currency Hierarchy and Financial Globalisation is a valuable resource for scholars and students in the fields of financial and international economics. The financial analysis and empirical research presented in this book will also be of great benefit to policy makers and practitioners.

The integration process of 'The Common Market of the South' (MERCOSUR) has been characterized by serious economic turbulence, including the devaluation of the Brazilian currency and the severe Argentinean monetary crisis. As a response to these difficulties, the adoption of monetary union has emerged as one possible solution to the financial uncertainty which has plagued this region.Whereas some believe MERCOSUR should become a free trade area, others are convinced that nothing less than full monetary union can bring stability to the region and ease the financial fragility of the member countries. This book discusses the future of MERCOSUR, focusing on monetary union and macroeconomic policy co-ordination, and addresses a number of important questions including: is it possible, or even desirable, to achieve monetary integration?what would the pre-conditions be for establishing such a union?what would the convergence criteria be for joining the monetary union?what are the expected economic consequences for the member countries?These questions are all addressed with particular reference to the experience of EMU and the lessons which can be learnt by MERCOSUR countries, in terms of the difficult transitions they may have to face.The book brings together a host of distinguished British, Argentinean and Brazilian economists to elucidate the critical policy issues surrounding the merits of monetary union in South America. Financial economists, international monetary economists, international relations experts, academics and practitioners interested in the issues surrounding economic and monetary union will all value the perceptive insights found in this volume.
