Abstract

Global financial standard-setting has been the exclusive domain of advanced economies for decades. Following the 2008-09 crisis, China and other emerging markets and developing economies obtained formal membership in the forums of global financial regulatory governance. Has their incorporation changed global regulatory politics? We analyze the epistemic contestation, bargaining, and persuasion surrounding the latest item on the financial regulatory reform agenda of the G20 and the Financial Stability Board: non-bank credit intermediation. Our findings support and refine salient theories of global regulatory politics, and underscore the importance of epistemic concerns for debates over the consequences of entry into the core institutions of global financial governance of new actors from the ‘Global South’.
