The Regional Studies special issue that I have been working on with Fenghua Pan, Martin Sokol and Dariusz Wojcik has just been published. Titled “New financial geographies of Asia“, the special issue brings together a collection of papers that examines the role of finance in the restructuring of markets, firms, government policies and urban processes in contemporary Asia at the time of a global financial change. In our editorial introduction, we offer some critical reflection on ‘Asia’ as a working category in examining financial networks and practices, and highlight some key research strands for understanding future financial development in Asia.
