Beskrivning
Focusing on capital controls, this study provides rigorous legal analysis to establish whether the mandate of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) extends to the capital account; that is, whether the IMF has the authority to control and/or regulate the use of capital controls by its member states. The book then analyses whether a country's use of capital controls is consistent with the obligations and commitments undertaken in various multilateral and bilateral trade and investment agreements. Finally, it analyses the tension within international economic law, as the IMF now encourages the use of capital controls under certain circumstances, while most trade/investment agreements prohibit or limit their use. Proposing a way forward to alleviate the tension and construct a more harmonious relationship between the norms and standards of finance, trade and investment, this study will be essential reading for policymakers.

Recensioner i media

'This essential volume illuminates a dark but critical component of international economic law: the international legal regulation of capital controls. This is a field of deep economic and political interest, and implicates the question of the “right to regulate,” in connection with economic policy in developing and developed countries. But the applicable law is fragmented and somewhat ambiguous, with various rules associated with various institutions. Prof. Mercurio provides a careful and persuasive analysis of the current legal situation under IMF, WTO, and preferential trade agreement law, and an essential roadmap for policy-makers as they seek to comply with, or perhaps to reform, the law. This lucid and well-documented volume also provides a valuable resource for students and scholars of international economic law.' Joel P. Trachtman, Professor of International Law and Henry J. Braker Professor of Commercial Law, The Fletcher School, Tufts University
