Overseeing the international financial and monetary system: A critical analysis of the International Monetary Fund's Article IV surveillance mandate

Jason Haynes

This paper attempts to trace the development of, and critically analyze, the evolving surveillance mandate of the IMF from both a legal and policy perspective. Specifically, the paper contends that while the Second Amendment has always been important, the global financial crisis has profoundly extended its content, use and importance much further than originally envisaged.
