摘要:Since the early 2000s, debates revolving around the global economy focused on powerful processes of the reorganisation of production processes and the emerging new global division of labour, the complex-ity of social relations underpinning those, the rise of new economic cores, and the unfolding variegated landscape of the current capitalist regime (Hudson, R. 2016; Peck, J. 2016). Financialisation shifted in the score of such discourses due to the enhanced scale of capital flows and transactions between national and regional markets, the apparent role of financial capital in driving globally organised production, and the penetration of global financial processes in all realms of social relations and everyday life. Accordingly, inquiries on financialisation were extended spatially and focused not only on national institutional-regu-lative contexts and the interplay local markets and global capital flows, but endeavoured to grasp the multi-scalar and relational nature of financialisa-tion (Dymsky, G.A. 2018). The 2008/9 financial crisis exhibited the multiplicity of agencies in financial processes and the need to relate processes inside and outside financial markets, such as the power of global financial centres, insular financial practices, structural imbalances in global trade, the growing power of financial media, and cultural-institutional dimensions of national market – to understand financial linkages as social relations (Aalbers, M. 2009; Sokol, M. 2017).
