The book examines the role of the United Kingdom in shaping the reform of financial regulation since the global financial crisis, and assesses the implications of the UK's withdrawal from the European Union. With the release of The UK and Multi-Level Financial Regulation , finance watchers will no longer need to baffle over the UKs seemingly erratic post-crisis behavior: its frequent departure from light-touch regulation, its inconsistent support of European and international harmonization, and its apparent abandonment of City of London interests in the pursuit of Brexit. James and Quaglias timely and readable book promises to be the guide to the UKs role in shaping recent and future financial regulation. Scholars, analysts, authorities, and market participants will appreciate the meticulously-researched cases, recognition of regulators as political actors, incorporation of complexity and temporality, and theoretical synthesis all of which contribute to a compelling explanation of British goals, strategies and influence within Europe and at the international level.
