A recorrência das crises financeiras, especialmente a partir da crise asiática de 1997-1998, determinou a emergência de um amplo debate e de um conjunto de ações políticas visando à reforma da arquitetura do sistema financeiro internacional. O presente artigo enfoca, dentro deste marco mais geral, a questão da “falência soberana”. A proposta lançada por Anne Krueger de se discutir a conformação de um arcabouço institucional capaz de ordenar os processos de reestruturação das dívidas de países “potencialmente” em crise sugere que as reformas de “primeira geração” já estão sendo consideradas insuficientes no núcleo duro do establishment oficial. Abstract The recurrence of financial crises, particularly after the Asian meltdown (1997-1998), determined the emergence of an intense debate and new policies concerning the international financial architecture. In this context, this paper discuss the recent Anne Krueger’s approach to sovereign debt restructuring. We suggest that this new approach reveals that the “first generation” reforms seem to be already insufficient, even for the hardcore of the official establishment.

The financial crises of the 90s have underlined the need for a comprehensive re-regulation of international financial markets. Although a number of measures addressing both the erratic developments of exchange rates and the volatility of capital flows could be implemented, it is unlikely that we will witness a substantial change of the current system, which produces instability and enormous opportunities for profits at the same time. The main obstacles for a re-regulation of the international financial markets are not of a technical nature, but are the results of vested interests in the USA, namely of the “Wall Street Treasury Complex” (Jagdish Bhagwati).
