In the News: Daniel McDowell

Daniel McDowell's research on China's bilateral currency swaps with foreign central banks was referenced in the Financial Times article, "China’s influence on global finance grows as US scales back input." 

"The headline events of 2016—Brexit, the election of Donald Trump in the United States, a struggling Chinese economy—do not represent the start of a process of 'deglobalization.' Rather, they themselves are a product of a slow unraveling of global economic interconnectedness that has been unfolding for nearly a decade now," writes Daniel McDowell, associate professor of political science.

Daniel McDowell, assistant professor of political science, identifies major changes to the global financial landscape from the 1960s through the 2008 global financial crisis that repeatedly undermined the IMF’s ability to act as an effective manager of international financial crises, in his new book "Brother, Can You Spare a Billion?"
