Banking Business Models: Definition, Analytical Framework and Financial Stability Assessment
Springer International Publishing, 25th April, 2019
This book is a result of several years of research to provide readers with a novel and comprehensive analysis on business models in banking, essential to understanding bank businesses pre- and post- financial crisis and how they evolve in the financial system. This book will provide depositors, creditors, credit rating agencies, investors, regulators, supervisors, and other market participants with a comprehensive analytical framework and analysis to better understand the nature of risk attached to the bank business models and its contribution to systemic risk throughout the economic cycle. The book will also guide post-graduate students and researchers delving into this topic.
Institutional Diversity in Banking
This book examines the evolution and current perspec- tives of primarily small banks with alternative structures that operate in all diversified financial markets. The chapters in the book emphasize the impact of the financial crisis on small banks and convey a similar mes- sage: that the small banks, mostly the cooperative sector, survived the cri- sis quite well, but have been directly and indirectly discriminated against in post-crisis restructuring; hence they face many operational and stra- tegic challenges today. The authors examine the diverse and often small institutions in the banking sector to see how they contribute to the broad picture of financial intermediation. In putting this book together, the editor sets out to provide a long overdue look at the two aspects of bank- ing diversity—size and organization—in the post-crisis era.

Bridging the Gulf: EU-GCC Relations at a Crossroads
Bridging the Gulf: EU-GCC Relations at a Crossroads
IAI Research Papers, March 2014
Relations between the European Union (EU) and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) are at a crossroads. After the derailment of the negotiations for the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) in 2008, the cooperation between the two regional blocs has remained low-key in a number of different areas, while the unprecedented changes that have taken place in North Africa and the Middle East, the common neighbourhood of the EU and the GCC, have not led to a renewed, structured cooperation on foreign and security policy issues. This volume addresses the shortcomings and potential of EU-GCC relations by taking stock of their past evolution and by advancing policy recommendations as to how to revamp this strategic cooperation. In this light, it highlights the areas where greater room for manoeuvre exists in order to enhance EU-GCC relations, discusses the instruments available and sheds light on the feature of the regional and international context that are likely to significantly influence the new phase in the mutual relation between the two blocs. The book is the result of the research conducted in the framework of the project ‘Sharaka – Enhancing Understanding and Cooperation in EU-GCC Relations’, co-funded by the European Commission.

Handbook of Safeguarding Global Financial Stability
Handbook of Safeguarding Global Financial Stability
(Academic Press), 29 November 2012
The book explores the many forms of political and social forces exerting pressure on the globalised economy, from formal and informal policies to financial theories and technical models. The efforts to shape and direct these forces to preserve financial stability reveal much about the ways we perceive the financial economy. The Handbook of Safeguarding Global Financial Stability examines the political economy, particularly the ways in which these forces inhabit institutions, strategies, and tactics. As economies expand and contract, these forces also determine the ways we supervise and regulate. This high-level examination of the global political economy includes articles about specific countries, crises, and international systems as well as broad articles about major concepts and trends.

Chindia FDI in Africa: Implications for Europe and Re-polarization
Chindia FDI in Africa: Implications for Europe and Re-polarization
(World Scientific), August 2012
At the end of the 1980s, a tri-polar world comprising the US, EU and Japan emerged. However, the economic turbulence of the early 21st century has destabilized this order, and the rise of other Asian powers has implications for the formation of a new economic configuration.
This book discusses the probability of the different tentative global economic power balances to emerge, as well as the different contestants: the EU, China and Japan, among others.
Organized into three sections, the first part addresses general and trend-wise developments with relevance to the outcome of the re-polarization process. Subsequently, three chapters focus on developments in China, India and Japan. Finally, special issues such as climate policies, corporate governance, social reforms and cross-border economic alliances are considered in greater detail, in relation to their implications for the outcome of the re-polarization process.

New Paradigms in Banking, Financial Markets and Regulation?
New Paradigms in Banking, Financial Markets and Regulation?
Published by Larcier, 24 May 2012
On 11-12 May 2011, SUERF, the Belgian Financial Forum, the Brussels Finance Institute and the Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS) jointly organised the 29th SUERF Colloquium on New Paradigms in Money and Finance. The papers included in this SUERF study are based on contributions to the Colloquium. The 2008-11 financial crisis has demonstrated unsatisfactory performance in financial institutions and in financial regulation and supervision all over the world. The contributors to the present volume look with critical eyes on financial theories, supervisory structures, (mis)pricing of risk and distorted incentives, risk management models and procedures, conflicts of interest and bank strategies. Their perspectives are quite different, but they share the ambition of finding improved analytical, organisational or managerial approaches so that decision-makers have a better chance of showing good performance in the future. In essence, they are looking for new paradigms in banking, financial markets and regulation.
