Abstract

The Palgrave Handbook of Sovereign Wealth Funds aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of SWFs from a multidimensional perspective. It spans the gamut from theoretical to practical while offering the right balance of detailed and user-friendly coverage. Discussion of relevant research permeates the handbook. This volume helps fill the gap by showing how SWFs are a growing and dynamic force in international finance. This chapter discusses the book’s distinguishing features, intended audience, and structure. It provides an overview of each section and chapter.
