The Integration of Developing Countries Into International Financial Markets: Remarks from the Perspective of an Economic Ethics
从经济伦理学视角评估发展中国家金融一体化，分析大量证券投资流入带来的脆弱性和贬值风险，并提出改善措施如限制资本流入、加强国内银行体系及南北合作货币安排。
Abstract: In this paper the co-responsibility of the North for the development of the South, the chance of an authentic development and Rawls’s maximin rule are indicated as the ethical perspectives from which the financial integration of developing countries will be evaluated. It follows a brief economic analysis of possible problems of high inflows of portfolio investments for developing countries. They become more vulnerable to financial and monetary crises and their domestic banking systems are weakened by a higher risk of devaluation. This will lead to an outline of the goals for reshaping the financial integration: among others limitation of capital inflows, strengthening of the domestic banking system and further development of the country’s particular economic style. Finally some regulations of external financial relations and the proposal of a cooperative monetary arrangement between the South and the North are discussed as possible measures to improve this integration.
