The Political Economy of Central Banking in Emerging Economies

Our edited volume “The Political Economy of Central Banking in Emerging Economies” is published by Routledge Critical Studies in Finance and Stability. In our book, we explore how the global and domestic political economy context influences central banking in numerous emerging economies of Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the European periphery and in turn how central banks shape the political economy dynamics in these countries. We use several theoretical perspectives in our book ranging from institutional and organizational theory, developmental state, resource dependency, and gender studies, drawing on disciplines ranging from politics, international relations, public policy, management, finance, and sociology.

We hope that our volume will be a major step towards having a global comprehension of the political economy of central banking, and will contribute to the literature with its theoretical and methodological pluralism, interdisciplinarity, and empirical orientation.

We expect that our book will appeal to scholars and students of central banking, political economy, and emerging economies, as well as professionals and policymakers engaged with central banks, monetary policy, and economic development.
