Credit Ratings and Sovereign Debt Summary

Credit Ratings and Sovereign Debt: The Political Economy of Creditworthiness through Risk and Uncertainty by B. Paudyn

Bartholomew Paudyn investigates how governments across the globe struggle to constitute the authoritative knowledge underpinning the political economy of creditworthiness and what the (neoliberal) 'fiscal normality' means for democratic governance.

About B. Paudyn

Bartholomew Paudyn researches/lectures in the International Political Economy (IPE) of financial and debt/fiscal relations. Prior to the London School of Economics & Political Science, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Dept of Political Science at the University of Victoria (Canada) and a Visiting Fellow at the Centre for the Study of Globalisation and Regionalisation at the University of Warwick (UK). His research explores how the management through risk/uncertainty fuels a growing antagonism between the imperatives of the programmatic/epistocratic and operational/politics dimensions of budgetary governance. Currently, he is involved in projects that problematise how authoritative knowledge is constituted and expertise deployed in the political economy of creditworthiness, and what financial globalisation means for some of the most fundamental challenges facing debt/fiscal relations and national, democratic self-determination to date, such as the stable development of emerging markets (BRICs) and the integrity of Economic and Monetary Union (EMU).
