Rethinking Sovereign Debt: Politics, Reputation, and Legitimacy in Modern Finance
Odette Lienau
Should South Africa be responsible for apartheid-era debt? Should Iraq be tied to Saddam Hussein's excesses? Odette Lienau shows that sovereign debt continuity--the rule that nations must repay loans even after a regime change--relies on absolutist ideas, and explains why the practice is not essential for functioning capital markets.
