Abstract

This special issue leverages the variation across Europe to expand on the conceptualisation of and the empirical knowledge about finance and financialization. As we will show, focussing on Europe can offer a richer understanding of the reach of financialization than the prevalent focus on the Anglo-American world, with surprising insights that may be of more general relevance to other world regions. More specifically, a focus on Europe allows new insights on the reach of financialization, central actors that brought it about, and the choices and trade-offs that have shaped the process.

金融和金融化的欧洲政治经济学

摘要

本期特刊利用整个欧洲的差异来扩展金融和金融化的概念化和实证知识。正如我们将要展示的，与普遍关注英美世界相比，关注欧洲可以提供对金融化影响范围的更丰富的理解，其令人惊讶的见解可能与世界其他地区具有更普遍的相关性。更具体地说，对欧洲的关注可以让我们对金融化的范围、带来它的主要参与者以及影响这一过程的选择和权衡有新的见解。
