The Challenge of Sovereign Insolvency - Critique and Commentary on Towards a Reorganisation System for Sovereign Debt, by Holger Schier

A Reorganization of the system of sovereign insolvency holds the potential of putting some order and ensuring greater efficiency in the management of Sovereign Debt. The practice and procedure of sovereign debt management is largely still unregulated and so unpredictable as debtor default and creditor response depends on the impulses of the parties as the Argentine cases has shown. Dr Holger Schier offers much that puts some clarity in the book on several aspects of the law of sovereign insolvency. The Greek debt crisis has brought the situation home to the Eurozone but the experience of managing the Sub-Saharan debt will prove instructive all the same.
