This symposium focuses on the important changes in financial regulation in the United States and the European Union that are resulting, and will likely result, from the ongoing financial crisis. It features expert panelists and commentators drawn from both the academy and private practice. Each panel focuses on a topic related to financial regulation reform. The first panel considers, from both theoretical and practical perspectives, current plans and proposals to restructure financial regulation and to enhance the responsibilities of financial regulators. The second panel looks at a worldwide phenomenon that has been significant in the crisis – massive state aid to support financial institutions and the financial sector – and participants analyze the reasons for and implications of this state support. The third panel primarily focuses on how regulation can best prevent, or at least lessen, the consequences of systemic risk of a meltdown of the entire financial system.
