The Reconfiguration of the Global Financial Regime: Between the Public Determination and the Private Self-determination

Authors

  • Benjamín Sánchez Universidad Andrés Bello

Abstract

The financial crisis of 2008 amended the sustained relationships between the political system, the legal system and the financial system globally. Given the inability of the regulatory structures of the concerned countries to safeguard the stability of its markets, the political solution has focused in increased state involvement on legal bodies to supervise financial processes, causing a new turn in the dispute over sustained control of financial regulation between the political system and the financial system. This article explores the origins and the potential effects of this emerging dynamics, identifying the main structural links arranged by the State to correct the functional defects of the global financial system, as well as the roots of dedifferentiation derived regulatory capture in which incurred historically the financial system. To describe this emerging dynamics from a sociological perspective, was conjugated the optic that provides analytical systems theory with own theoretical arsenal of financial regulation, including recent empirical research in this field. Finally, this article highlight the functional advantages of this intersystemic struggle, introducing a reflection that rescues its benefits to the social system in the long term.
