"金融化、经济、社会和可持续发展"是欧盟近年来开展的一个多学科研究项目,目的是在多个社会科学学科之间形成联合和合力,了解如何吸取2008年全球金融危机的教训,让金融更好地为经济、社会和环境需要服务。该项目将多所一流大学的专家和专业知识汇聚到一起,对金融如何影响我们周围的世界提出了崭新的看法。项目考察了"金融化"的定义,分析了当今金融化时代的特征。在思考经济学关于货币、金融的理论基础上,试图理解一般意义上的金融危机和具体来说2008年的危机,解释危机生成的原因,分析其后果。为了研究金融化对各国金融系统的影响,项目对多个国家的金融系统进行研究,产生了关于众多国别金融系统的研究报告。此外,还对金融化之下各国金融部门的变化作了深入研究。监管、减少监管与金融自由化也是该项目探讨的重要主题,重点关注金融化时代的减少监管和金融自由化的经验及其与金融危机发生的联系。
