Abstract

The (re)emergence of Asia as an economic power has been accompanied by the rise of Asian cities as hubs of financial activity. Three cities have gained risen through the ranks to establish themselves as Asia’s leading International Financial Centres (IFCs): Hong Kong, Singapore and Shanghai.

This book represents an attempt to understand the ways in which the political-economic context impacts financial sector development and policy-making. This chapter provides an overview of the book and briefly discusses its core arguments.
