Sovereign Wealth Funds: Legitimacy, Governance, and Global Power

摘要

Over the past decade, a gap has appeared between the traditional emphasis of financial geographers on developed world-based, mostly Anglo-American private investors, and the rising influence of state financial actors, predominantly based in the developing world. Lying at the center of this shift are so-called sovereign wealth funds (SWFs), or state-owned institutional investors. Sovereign Wealth Funds: Legitimacy, Governance, and Global Power is the first book-length work on this topic to emerge from economic geography, and as such it is of significance to the subfield's broader academic and policy influence.
