Fatih Bugra Erdem: The Principles of International Banking, Finance and Investment Law, Gebunden

Klappentext

In an era defined by rapid financial globalization, algorithmic market shifts, and heightened geopolitical friction, domestic legal frameworks are no longer capable of regulating transnational capital flows. This textbook delivers a rigorous, high-level structural analysis of the multi-layered legal regimes governing today's global financial engine. Centered on the operational realities and best practices of the Group of Twenty (G20) economies, this comprehensive volume bridges the gap between private contractual autonomy and mandatory international public law frameworks. By analyzing the foundational anchors of the global market, the text meticulously unpacks the institutional anatomy of banking---including licensing requirements, Basel III/IV capital adequacy mandates, corporate governance, and cross-border bank insolvencies---while offering a functional evaluation of alternative trade finance regimes such as factoring, forfaiting, financial leasing, and letters of credit under the ICC-UCP 600 framework.

Beyond classical banking dogmatics, this textbook courageously navigates the contemporary digital and crypto-asset renaissance, examining the evolution of the legal tender doctrine, Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs), DeFi protocols, and the strategic rise of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). It further addresses the complex mechanics of cross-border investment dispute settlements through multi-layered platforms like ICSID arbitration, FINRA schemes, and the European Multilateral Investment Court (MIC) initiative. Concluding with an essential exploration of emerging structural trends---such as the mandatory integration of ESG compliance, sustainable finance taxonomies, open banking, and cutting-edge Anti-Money Laundering (AML/CFT) tracking---and grounded in an interdisciplinary approach that integrates traditional doctrinal legal analysis with quantitative economics and international relations, this volume stands as an indispensable asset for legal practitioners, international regulators, central bankers, and advanced scholars navigating the post-crisis global financial ecosystem.
