Managing Financial Risks is a vitally important volume in the continued development of research into the geographies of money and finance. Empirically and politically, the book is set against the backdrop of the ‘global’ financial crisis that has severely impacted upon a range of financial activities in a number of nation states since the summer of 2007. However, despite providing a detailed reading of the role of financial risk management in both the causes and consequences of this crisis, the book is far more than a commentary on the crisis. Rather, through a focus on financial risks of different kinds, the book advances the spatial imaginaries of a number of heterodox approaches to money and finance that have expanded significantly in recent years. These include institutionalist approaches, work in cultural economy and the social studies of finance, and research inspired by Foucaultian governmentality. With contributions from an impressive list of inter-disciplinary scholars, the substantive topics through which this argument is made are equally diverse ranging from studies of multilateral financial governance through practices of calculation in financial institutions to studies of the ways in which individuals’ everyday lives have become increasingly entwined within the international financial system.
