Abstract
This paper discusses issues and developments that relate to the teaching of bank regulation in tertiary institutions. It considers how course content, teaching texts, and methodology, can become subject to issues like specific, historical, and jurisdictional, cultures and contexts for the discipline. It considers how economic and political approaches impact such teaching. How banking regulations tools are used, and course structures are built, are matters which impinge on the type of trained personnel who later eventually leave academia and end up working on regulatory or compliance matters.
Highlights
This paper seeks to provide a discussion of various themes relating to what, in the business faculties or institutes of many modern tertiary education institutions, and, more departments focussing on the teaching of financial services, has become a very important academic discipline in its own right: viz the teaching of, and research on, financial services regulation
As with many areas that come under financial services, there is a historic background that had its effect or, even, conceptually non-effect, on the teaching of financial services regulation, and we briefly look at that aspect in both an international and purely local context
In a very broad sense it can be said that financial services institutions were late in fully appreciating that their environment was, so to speak, “being set up” for them by many outside forces: conflicts, politics, society, the law, even the economy itself, not to fail to mention the many bank and other financial institution crises
Summary
This paper seeks to provide a discussion of various themes relating to what, in the business faculties or institutes of many modern tertiary education institutions, and, more departments focussing on the teaching of financial services, has become a very important academic discipline in its own right: viz the teaching of, and research on, financial services regulation. To speak, “born” – and it is in reality hard to pinpoint when that was the case in many countries – it remained for so long as something happening out there, and perhaps in those times even not something to fret too much over. We consider this aspect in the first part of this paper. As we shall see it is more than just an issue of printed texts about modernity’s recurrent financial crises
