Phoenix Risen: The Resurrection of Global Finance

Of all the many changes of the world economy in recent decades, few have been nearly so dramatic as the resurrection of global finance. How can we explain the remarkable globalization of financial markets and what are its economic, political implications?

Is cooperation feasible? Skepticism would appear justified by recent history. During the 1980s, the so-called Group of Seven industrial states (the United States, Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, and Japan) repeatedly declared their commitment to principles of mutual surveillance of their macroeconomic policies and a coordinated management of exchange rates. Yet for all their promises to curb unilateralist impulses, the governments involved more often than not ended up going their separate ways as policymakers wearied of the frequent concessions required. Collaboration in practice tended to ebb and flow like the tides. Apparently, as I have written before, international monetary cooperation, like passionate love, is a good thing but difficult to sustain. 53 The episodic quality of such efforts has also been demonstrated by more recent events in Europe. The march toward a European monetary union, which Goodman approvingly discusses in considerable detail, has seemingly been stalled by currency crises occurring since the completion of his study. Goodman's barely qualified positive tone plainly reflects the enthusiasm and sense of momentum generated by passage of the Maastricht treaty in 1991, when he was writing. Today, it seems fair to say, prospects for a single European currency and central bank appear rather dim.

Reasons for the problematic quality of cooperation are not difficult to find. At the domestic level, as indicated, financial globalization remakes political coalitions and creates vested interests in the new status quo. In the words of Goodman and Pauly, "Global financial structures affect the dynamics of national policy-making by changing and privileging the interests and actions of certain types of firms. Once those interests have been embedded in policy, movement back is not necessarily precluded but is certainly rendered much more difficult." 54 At the systemic level, states are always tempted to vie for advantage at the expense of rivals. To the extent that governments act as "defensive positionalists," 55 compromise will be inhibited by fears of noncompliance abroad as well as of relative loss at home. Factors at both levels enhance the attractiveness of policies of unilateralism and even aggressive neomercantilism in financial matters. For some observers, they virtually guarantee a world dominated by the "competition state." 56

Yet again, some caution is warranted in the face of such bold generalizations. If the extensive literature on international regimes teaches us anything, it is that even the most self-interested of states will on occasion find it advantageous to voluntarily limit their own autonomy. 57 This will especially be so when governments are confronted with what Arthur Stein calls "dilemmas of common aversions" rather than "dilemmas of common interests." 58 Dilemmas of common aversions, or coordination games, exist when all actors share a concern to avoid a particular outcome. The only question is how to establish a norm, or focal point, around which behavior may coalesce. Beyond agreeing to play by some standard set of rules (for example, driving on the right-hand side of the road), no compromise of underlying preferences is called for. This is in contrast to dilemmas of common interests, or conflictual games, where reciprocal concessions are indeed required to avoid suboptimal (Pareto-deficient) outcomes. Collective action in such situations will obviously be more difficult to achieve or sustain. The difference between the two classes of dilemma is reflected in the distinction economist Peter Kenen draws between two types of cooperation --the "policy-optimizing" approach, where governments seek to bargain their way from suboptimality to something closer to a Pareto optimum; and the regime-preserving, or public-goods approach, where mutual adjustments are made for the sake of defending existing arrangements or institutions against the threat of economic or political shocks. 59 The more difficult of the two is clearly the policy-optimizing approach. Happily, though, not all of the challenges posed by global finance are quite so demanding.

In fact, many of the issues involved clearly are more in the nature of coordination games, where "regime preservation" rather than "policy optimization" is at stake. One example is the problem studied by Kapstein, international banking regulation. Prudential supervision, Kapstein suggests, presented a "challenging case" because it is an issue-area in which state power appears to be relatively weak and ineffective. If, despite these unpromising background conditions, states have somehow managed to build a reasonably sound structure for the regulation and supervision of [banks], maybe this tells us something of more general importance. (p. 178)

In reality, the case may have been less challenging than alleged. 60 All states, after all, share an interest in ensuring prudent behavior in the banking sector, owing to the industry's central role in the operation of the payments system. None was eager to become enmeshed in a competition in laxity. As Kapstein's own analysis demonstrates, few truly serious compromises were actually required to reach agreement on common standards for capital adequacy, accounting rules, and the like. Nonetheless, the case does tell us something of more general importance -that cooperative action is indeed feasible, at least in circumstances where states find themselves confronted with common aversions rather than fundamentally divergent interests.

Such circumstances can be found at both the micro and macro levels. In Sobel's analysis of securities markets, the evidence clearly points to opportunities for regulatory agreements parallel to those highlighted by Kapstein in the banking sector. "The greater the frequency of international trading, the greater the demands for national regulators to coordinate internationally. The more such regulators coordinate, the more regulatory styles will converge" (p. 159). 61 Likewise, even in the G-7's disappointing record of performance in the exchange-rate area, experience testifies to the willingness of governments to act together effectively when broader collective goals have appeared at risk (for example, the Plaza Agreement of 1985, the joint response to the stock-market crash of 1987). While genuine policy-optimizing cooperation in the monetary area remains rare, regime-preserving collaboration has not proved impossible. 62

Hence, here too the interesting question is not whether but how and under what conditions. The difficulties of coordinating state action, whether at the micro or macro level, should certainly not be underestimated. Neither, however, should the problematic quality of cooperative strategies be exaggerated. Some issues by their nature require little more than agreement on mutual recognition of standards. Even in areas where conflicts of interest are more directly involved, it may be possible to preserve or promote a collective approach by switching the focus of attention from one class of policy instruments to another. 63 Short of a genuine systemic crisis, governments may never be willing to pay the undoubtedly steep price that would be required to tame the phoenix completely. But it does appear feasible to arrange life so that states and markets may cohabit a bit more comfortably.

The End of Geography

There is no question that the globalization of finance is one of the most striking political-economy developments of the post-World War II era. Governments have clearly been thrown on the defensive. For many analysts, the rise of the phoenix means a possibly irreversible erosion of state authority. For some, it signifies much more: a fundamental change in the meaning of the state itself in relation to transcendent market forces-in effect, a transformation of geography as we know it. No longer is economic activity bounded by the political jurisdiction of the traditional territorial state. Increasingly, the globe itself is the only domain that matters. As economist Richard O'Brien puts it, "The closer we get to a global, integral whole, the closer we get to the end of geography." 64

Is this the end of geography? At least three intepretations can be attached to O'Brien's proposition. In one sense it could be construed in material terms, to mean a decline in the importance of place-physical location-as markets are increasingly integrated by the forces of competition and technical innovation. New communications and information technologies already permit market actors to operate with impunity across national frontiers. A future could be imagined where financial services are provided and transactions conducted solely in cyberspace, regardless of specific location. This is evidently the meaning that O'Brien mainly has in mind: "As markets become integratedthe need to base decisions on geography will alter and often diminish." 65 In effect, business will be done anywhere.

Such a scenario, however, tends to strain credulity. In reality, the importance of place is unlikely to be erased completely as long as economies of agglomeration can still be gained from concentrating operations in close proximity. Benefits include the more efficient use of information where contact between market actors is facilitated, the spreading of costs of needed public services, and the ready availability of specialist skills and supporting cognate functions. Even O'Brien admits that "certain activities will still be transacted within a relatively limited physical area, in which a collection of expertise is valuable. Where deals require the personal touch location of the players will still matter." 66 It is no accident that financial markets historically have always tended to gather together in a few select locales; nor that financial centers, once established, generally resist encroachment from newer rivals for long periods of time. As Paul Krugman has reminded us, "increasing returns and cumulative process are pervasive" in influencing the placement of economic activity. 67 Rational actors will continue to be attracted to certain locations as long as gains exceed the costs of congestion.

In a second sense the end of geography could be understood in political terms, as referring to the decline of state authority brought on by financial globalization--the transfer of effective sovereignty from national governments to "stateless" markets. The more public policy is hemmed in by private activities, the less relevant are the legal boundaries that have traditionally been drawn between political jurisdictions. Ultimately, all power might be drained off in favor of transnational capital. The nation-state, as Charles Kindleberger once predicted, would be "just about through as an economic unit," 68 but this interpretation too tends to strain credulity. As the preceding discussion has sought to make clear, the more plausible scenario is rather more mundane-a world of incomplete discipline and constant tension on both sides of the state-market divide. While national sovereignty is undoubtedly being challenged, it is not yet ready to be tossed quietly into the dustbin of history.

Finally, in a third sense, the end of geography might be interpreted in cognitive terms, as a shorthand expression for a required long-term shift of intellectual paradigm. Traditionally, in political economy studies of global finance, the central problematique has been the uneasy dialectic between states and markets. As in the books reviewed here, scholars typically focus on the challenge posed by mobile capital to the autonomy of national governments. The existence of an international system, based on state sovereignty as the central organizing principle of world politics, is taken more or less for granted, with markets assumed to operate within a framework defined in terms of the familiar territorial state. As financial activities become increasingly integrated, however, arguably a new organizing principle could be needed, a competing transnational model, 69 based not on political space but on economic space, which is becoming truly global in character. For a widening circle of scholars today, the key to understanding contemporary finance is indeed globalization. As Cerny has contended: "It is not merely the erosion of state financial power, but also the way that separate national currencies themselves are increasingly inextricably locked into wider financial trends and structures, which has become the central issue." 70 Geography has ended in the sense that the very meaning of borders has allegedly dissolved.

In essence, this final interpretation is just another way of arguing for the exogeneity of global finance-the notion that capital mobility must now be regarded as a truly structural constraint on state behavior. The limitations of that perspective have already been addressed. Insofar as the integration of financial markets remains contingent on government calculations of costs and benefits, the traditional statecentric paradigm continues to be relevant. Nonetheless, for students of IPE the competing transnational model is not easy to ignore. It represents, in fact, but one tributary of a much broader stream of criticism of standard international relations scholarship that has been gathering force in recent years. 71 The focus of debate is the "territorial trap," 72 the deceptively simple notion that world politics can be best understood in terms of "neatly divided spatial packages." 73 In reality, as Stephen Rosow argues, "the entire territorial imagery of current IPE has been rendered ambiguous. Modern conceptualization fails to illuminate the networks and flows of power, and the paths people attempt to carve out within them, which operate in global economic life." 74 To stay useful, contemporary IR scholarship must take more serious account of alternative and potentially complementary conceptualizations of rule and dominion in the modern world-nonterritorial "spaces-of-flows," in the language of John Ruggie, as well as the more traditional territorial "spaces-of-places." 75 The resurrection of global finance can be fully comprehended only in this much broader context.

Hirschman's error, they suggest, was to focus on the motivations of private groups alone without regard to their strategic interaction with government. Political authorities anxious to preserve their tax base will always pay more attention to the owners of mobile resources. Ibid., 61.
