"The Global Governance of Systemic Risk" published in New Political Economy 

Matt Kranke and David Yarrow's article examines the global governance of systemic risk after the financial crisis. Analysing the Financial Stability Board (FSB) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), they argue that attempts to render risk measurable sideline the political ambitions of macroprudential theory, especially the need for public control of financial practices. In the end, systemic risk may merely appear easier to control while genuine containment would require a critical rethinking of financialisation processes.

Tom Long published a new article in the November issue of International Affairs. His piece, "Latin America and the liberal international order: an agenda for research", explores why the region has played a marginal role in this burgeoning IR debate—and what serious engagement with the region could add to both critical and supportive accounts of liberal international order (LIO). The article argues that, "The LIO has shaped Latin America, and Latin America has shaped the LIO—but not always in the ways supporters or critics might expect."
