International Regulation, Accounting Standards and Australia Background
Background and Need for Regulation
International regulation is a necessity in the finance arena as the world bears a high rate of interconnection, particularly via banking and accounting. In 2008, Europe was given international accolades for its attempts to strengthen the world financial system and protect nations all over the world from a serious crisis. "Europe led the way last year in facing down the global financial crisis, restructuring our banking system and strengthening the global financial system. The European Union was also at the forefront in calling for a new forum for economic cooperation of G-20 leaders. And from the outset of the crisis, it was Europe that promoted the fiscal stimulus—and sought to coordinate it globally—that has been a major factor in preventing recession becoming a world-wide depression" (Brown & Sarkozy, 2009).
Social Policy and Economic Policy? Social Policy
There is a symbiotic relationship with social policies and economic policies and the reverse where each shapes and influences the other. Keynesianism and Monetarism both shaped the welfare state in their own particular ways. Keynesians produced policies that encouraged private and public spending, whilst Monterism verged from policies on employment to policies on monetary spending. In fact, Monetarism produced social policies that steered around the 3 Es. New Labor, on the other hand, promoted the Third Way social policies that dealt with regulation, attempted to integrate socialism with capitalism, and produced the controversial PFI where the government was forced to hire more private contractors to accomplish its tasks.
In short, policies do not exist in a chasm. They exist and come about within the context of pragmatics, ideology, and political, as well as historical circumstances.
