International Banking and Finance
Mr. TBA
3 credits day; 3 credits evening.
This course surveys the complex regulatory regime that is evolving to govern the operations of private banking organizations in the global marketplace. Banking had it origins in a quintessentially transnational context: the facilitation of commerce between merchants doing business in distant places. The course covers (1) national legal regimes applied to transnational financial transactions and multinational banks, including particularly U.S. regulation of international banking (which comprises both regulation of foreign banks' activities within the United States and regulation of U.S. banking organizations' activities abroad); (2) regional laws that cross national boundaries, <i>e.g.,</i> the European Union's Second Banking Directive and other pertinent directives; (3) supranational regulation of banking organizations (<i>e.g.,</i> the Bank for International Settlements and the G-10 countries "Basle Accords", international anti-money laundering initiatives and international anti-terrorism initiatives under the auspices of the United Nations, the OECD, and other multilateral arrangements); and (4) international public finance, including consideration of international organziations such as The World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. Neither <i><b>Banking Law</b></i> nor <i><b>International Law</b></i> is a prerequisite for this course, though both are recommended.
Not offered 2008-2009.
