Abstract

In April 1966, thousands of artists, musicians, performers and writers from across Africa and its diaspora gathered in the Senegalese capital, Dakar, to take part in the First World Festival of Negro Arts (Premier Festival Mondial des arts nègres). The international forum provided by the Dakar Festival showcased a wide array of arts and was attended by such celebrated luminaries as Duke Ellington, Josephine Baker, Aimé Césaire, André Malraux and Wole Soyinka. Described by Senegalese President Léopold Sédar Senghor, as 'the elaboration of a new humanism which this time will include all of humanity on the whole of our planet earth', the festival constituted a highly symbolic moment in the era of decolonization and the push for civil rights for black people in the United States. In essence, the festival sought to perform an emerging Pan-African culture, that is, to give concrete cultural expression to the ties that would bind the newly liberated African 'homeland' to black people in the diaspora. This volume is the first sustained attempt to provide not only an overview of the festival itself but also of its multiple legacies, which will help us better to understand the 'festivalization' of Africa that has occurred in recent decades with most African countries now hosting a number of festivals as part of a national tourism and cultural development strategy.

Abstract

"This book provides an indepth examination of the changes made to the regulation of derivatives that were enacted following the global financial crisis of 2008. Key areas of derivatives regulatory reform are presented, including bank capital and leverage rules, the clearing mandate, uncleared margin rules, and the principles for the regulation of central counterparties. After providing an overview of the global financial crisis, the book considers the motivations for these reforms in its immediate aftermath. The impact of these rules on the financial system is then analysed using insights from the market stress around the onset of the Covid pandemic in 2020.The construction of financial regulation is investigated, as well as its nature and how this should be assessed, using tools from the law, economics, and regulatory theory. Global administrative law, cost benefit analysis, and the results of regulatory interventions in other areas allow for analysis of the legitimacy, efficiency, and effectiveness of derivatives regulation. Insights from international political economy are also discussed, situating financial regulation within the regulatory state, while showing how its institutional arrangements shape regulatory outcomes. Suggestions for improving both rules and regulatory processes are considered in the conclusion of the book"--

Abstract

After the credit crisis, supervisors enacted a range of financial reforms. In particular, they radically changed the nature of the OTC derivatives market via a number of measures, notably mandatory central clearing. This book discusses the market before the crisis, explains what central clearing is, and outlines the consequences of the new rules.
