One of the most significant international institutional innovations since the establishment of the G20 leaders’ summit 18 months ago has been the creation of the Financial Stability Board (FSB). The Financial Stability Board: An Effective Fourth Pillar of Global Economic Governance? is a special report resulting from the collaboration of CIGI, Oxford University’s Global Economic Governance Programme, Columbia University’s Initiative for Policy Dialogue and the Foundation for European Progressive Studies. It brings together leading experts and policy insiders in a pioneering effort to assess how effective the FSB will be as a so-called “fourth pillar” in the evolving architecture of global economic governance operating alongside the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and the World Trade Organization.
