Politics lies at the heart of systemic financial risk. It impacts its evolution in terms of financial decisions and market practices, its regulation via international rules and domestic priorities, and its resolution in accordance with and against core interests. This conference explores how key aspects of the political process fundamentally shape systemic risk in the financial system. It features cutting-edge research from a range of scholarly traditions examining the political economy of systemic risk.
