Intended to advance the dialogue around sovereign debt by providing a comprehensive overview of the problems raised by debt and describing practical approaches to overcoming them. This book brings together under one cover the voices of prominent members of the international debt community.

It will include pieces from the most relevant constituencies: from creditors (the IMF/World Bank, government lenders, private investors) to critics (debtor representatives, activists, and academics) and analysis from economists, bankers, lawyers, social scientists, and politicians. As contributions come from such leading thinkers across a range of disciplines, this book will offer a timely guide for understanding and influencing the debt debate.
