Since the global financial crisis that started a decade ago, many countries across the globe have witnessed the introduction of new recovery and resolution regimes for banks. This Research Handbook on Cross-Border Bank Resolution analyses the strengths and weaknesses of the current regulatory framework for resolving cross-border bank crises and proposes avenues for improvement.

This Research Handbook includes a broad range of perspectives of the regulatory and economic infrastructure of the banks themselves, third parties, and real life case studies, on both a domestic and, in particular, an international level. Chapters are authored by eminent experts in this field with contributions from the US, EU, Japan and China.

With its comprehensive and rounded analysis of cross-border bank resolution, this wide-ranging Research Handbook may be of value to academics and researchers across the globe. The practical issues and policy recommendations included may also be of benefit for policy makers within the banking sector and bankers and lawyers alike.
