Abstract: The literature on the crisis-reform nexus has documented the relationship between governments interventions and banking crisis explained by the mass public demand. Nonetheless, the determinant of a global economic governance and coordination for an effective regulatory regime is lacking. In this context, the trade-off effect between regulatory burden for banks and shadow banking ballooning poses crucial questions on the post crisis regulations effectiveness. The paper argues that the financial reform policy relies on its interaction with a minimum of global governance and domestic regulations. Studying shadow banks development, we show that (a) without a minimum multilateral governance, controlling global imbalances limiting global leverage and financial interconectness is hardly possible. At the same time, shadow banks multiple-causes development in the biggest financial centers tell us that (b) global banking regulations dont fit all due to uneven financial development and varieties of financial capitalism at the national level. Following the conventional approaches for a new governance regime, the contribution focuses on the governance-regulations nexus involved and sketches out a middle way prospective towards a flexsecure global governance.
