Basel I and Basel Ii: Understanding Policy and Process

Basel I and II analyzes how international regulatory policy is made within the context of implementing international standards for bank capitalization levels. The book investigates the complexity of the policy-making process using three different levels of analysis (environmental, organizational and individual). This study examines how various factors such as economic and technological pressures (environmental conditions), organizational dynamics (policy institutions) and interpersonal relationships (social exchanges) affect the regulation of international financial services.
