This book on state insolvency and sovereign debts (Insolvabilité des Etats et dettes souveraines) is the collection of the proceedings of a conference held in Paris in November 2010. It was edited by professor Mathias Audit (Université Paris Ouest La Défense). The table of contents is available here.

La dette souveraine constitue l’un des enjeux économiques, politiques et juridiques majeurs de l’époque. Pour assurer leur fonctionnement ou financer leur croissance, la plupart des États du monde ont en effet massivement eu recours à l’emprunt, à telle enseigne qu’ils font aujourd’hui l’objet d’un endettement souvent très important. Le phénomène n’est d’ailleurs pas du tout propre aux économies les moins avancées ; il affecte également les États parmi les plus développés de la planète.

Mais qu’ils soient réputés riches ou pauvres, le service par ces États de leur dette souveraine représente une charge considérable pour leurs finances publiques. Plus encore, il expose certains d’entre eux à des cessations de paiement, c’est-à-dire à des situations d’insolvabilité.

Sous un angle à la fois juridique et économique, l’ouvrage vise à présenter chacun des aspects les plus saillants de l’endettement étatique. Dans une logique plus prospective, il cherche également à identifier les solutions qui pourraient lui être apportées.

Contributors include Mathias Audit, Jérôme Sgard, Michael Waibel, Jérôme Da Ros, Patrick Wautelet, Norbert Gaillard, Alain Bernard, Mathias Forteau, Francesco Martucci, and Horatia Muir Watt.

Most contributions are in French, but the paper of Patrick Wautelet on Vulture funds, creditors and sovereign debtors: how to find a balance? is written in English.

More details can be found here.
