Trade Review'This book provides, for the first time, a comprehensive analysis of the 'twin peaks' model of financial regulation across multiple jurisdictions, drawing on insights from academics and regulatory practitioners to explore the important question of how the architecture of financial regulation should be organised in order to best achieve its multiple objectives.' Julia Black, CBE, FBA, author of Rules and Regulators
'Twin Peaks is a division of regulatory responsibilities first substantially implemented in Australia and now proving increasingly popular around the world. This handbook assembles many leading regulatory scholars to analyse its rise and chart its potential future course. I commend this important contribution to all who are interested in how banking and finance might better be regulated.' Ross Buckley, KPMG-KWM Professor of Disruptive Innovation, UNSW Sydney
