In this collection, we set out to provide a reliable guide and analyses of key, contemporary issues in international economic law. The period following the global financial crisis, and thereafter the global economic crisis marked by the great recession and the European debt crisis, seemed an especially good time to revisit the broader manner in which the post- Second World War Bretton Woods system has evolved, and to ask whether current institutions and arrangements are adequate to the task of handling the kinds of issues which we have included in this survey. Our aim has therefore been to provide a snapshot of the field during the years following the global financial crisis of 2008. Although we believe this single volume will be a useful complement in the university classroom, our aim is to appeal not only to academics, scholars and university students but also to lawyers, diplomats and policy-makers.
