The proposal awarded is:

STABILISING AN UNSTABLE INDUSTRY: THE ROLE OF AGENCY IN INTERCONNECTING INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL CENTRES (FINWEBS)

The project seeks to better comprehend the dynamic/stability duality of the system of international financial centres through an analysis of several ‘transnational social layers’: networks of financial centres, networks of financial firms and their products, as well as networks of leading financial professionals. The project hence explores future implications for the financial industry and those cities heavily relying on this industry.

Duration: 48 months
