For policy makers, supervisors, and academics, this volume examines hedge fund regulation in Europe. It discusses regulatory systems in Europe and to what extent the exclusion of hedge funds from harmonized European regulation is justifiable; whether their differences validate separate regulatory treatment; and whether EU-wide regulation is possible and in what form. It profiles the features of the contemporary global and European hedge fund markets; considers the conceptual underpinnings of regulation, their treatment under the law, and related initiatives and reflections of the European institutions; and outlines proposals for regulation, the conditions needed for their intended effects, and objections. Athanassiou is an attorney at the European Central Bank. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
