Abstract:This paper examines the role of creditor countries' bank regulations in the Third World debt crisis of the 1980s. It comprises four chapters. The first explains the basic relationship between troubled Third World debtor countries and their creditors. The second examines debt bargaining, including the banking background and the history of creditor/debtor relations in similar crises in the past. The third chapter analyses bank regulation: why it is undertaken, how it has evolved, the special problems of international banking, and proposals for reforming regulations to help resolve the debt crisis. The concluding chapter discusses the debtor countries' political approaches and considers the importance of regulatory questions.
