“…There is a vast, and growing, literature on the politics of financial regulation within and among countries in the core of the global financial system (see for instance Botzem, 2014;Büthe and Mattli, 2011;Haber and Calomiris, 2015;Helleiner, 2014;Kapstein, 1989;Lall, 2012;Lavelle, 2013;Oatley and Nabors, 1998;Perry and Nölke, 2006;Porter, 2005;Quaglia, 2019Quaglia, , 2014Singer, 2007;Tarullo, 2008;Underhill and Zhang, 2008;Young, 2012;Zysman, 1984). Scholarship on the politics of financial regulation in emerging economies and developing countries is equally insightful yet much less extensive and has tended to focus on the largest emerging and developing countries (Chey, 2014;Haggard and Lee, 1995;HamiltonHart, 2002;Hutchcroft, 1998;Knaack, 2017;Lavelle, 2004;Martinez Diaz, 2009;Naqvi, 2019;Walter, 2008). This reflects a tendency among scholars of international political economy, and international relations more broadly, to focus on countries with the largest economies on the grounds that they exert systemic influence over the global economy and the way it is governed (Drezner, 2008).…”
