This workshop brings together a group of researchers who have embarked on a multidisciplinary approach to study financial crises, in particular, the Asian crisis of 1997 and the more recent global financial crisis of 2008. Looking at
financial crises not as one crisis, but as a combination of crises beginning with a crisis of confidence, this study examines the backward and forward linkages of turmoil in the financial system to political regimes and institutions, culture and tradition, the role of media, society and societal evolution, and development processes of regulatory regimes.
Through contributions by experts in fields ranging from sociology and political science, media and Islamic banking, to law and regulation, this workshop adopts a broad framework for understanding financial crises, and sheds light on the interwoven and complex structures and often overlooked aspects which contribute to the holistic understanding of this topic. |
