Reviews

‘In this amazingly comprehensive book Elli Louka masterfully describes the politics and policies, the law and institutions, and the formal and informal processes and participants that have defined the global financial and monetary system, past and present. This is a sober and necessary explanation and evaluation of why and how minimum order has been maintained and why maximum order is so elusive.’
– Jacob Katz Cogan, University of Cincinnati College of Law, US

‘It all comes together in Louka’s extraordinarily lucid, accessible and realistic account of the structure and workings of the global political-economic system. Her book is rich in descriptions of key institutions and in contemporary and historic examples. Louka’s deconstruction of the global law-making process and the regulatory initiatives of the key international institutions as well as her recommendations for securing minimum order in the system are refreshingly feasible and reasonable.’
– Michael Reisman, Yale Law School, US

‘In this book, Elli Louka reassesses a collection of key issues that shape the international law and politics of the financial and monetary system, such as the making of economic policy, economic strategies of states, global economic conflicts, truces and peace, and global bodies, societies and guilds. The analysis is thoughtful and provocative which makes The Global Economic Order a most valuable and important contribution to financial and monetary system governance literature.’
