Abstract: Behind the ongoing financial crisis worldwide lies the whole system of management, governance and regulation driven by financialisation that has long dominated. This system and its featuring elements are nowadays under strict scrutiny: marked-to-market accounting, shareholder value governance and primacy over business strategies and development of firms, unbounded legal-financial engineering and securitisation, value-at-risk and market-based financial intermediation, just to name some. They raise evergreen issues of stability, accountability and sustainability. The current impasse concerns then the role of finance in economy and society, and questions finance-driven architectures and regulatory frameworks, public policies and business strategies, as well as related instruments and practices of governance and management. The special session aims to contribute to the joint understanding of these matters by convening scholars from different perspectives and disciplines to address issues of accounting, economics and law raised by financialisation and its crisis.
