Warwick Law School News

Sharon Wassamon Kun-amornpong, who studied at Warwick Law School from 2018-2023 under the supervision of Professor Dalvinder Singh has published a monograph based on her PhD thesis.

The monograph, titled ‘The Financial Trilemma and Cross-border Bank Crisis Management in ASEAN’ was published by Palgrave Macmillan.

Sharon is currently lecturing in law at Thammasat University in Thailand and remembers her time at Warwick fondly. She told us:

“The Financial Trilemma and Cross-border Bank Crisis Management in ASEAN builds on research undertaken during my PhD at Warwick Law School. My time at Warwick not only shaped my academic journey but also inspired my interest in how Southeast Asian countries can navigate the complex challenges of cross-border banking crises.

The book explores the “financial trilemma”—the challenge of balancing financial stability, national sovereignty, and financial integration. It highlights the limitations of hard law and argues that the use of soft laws, MOUs, and government networks may be more effective in facilitating cross-border bank crisis management in ASEAN.

I hope it offers valuable insights for policymakers, academics, practitioners and students interested in banking regulation and regional cooperation.

Above all, I am deeply grateful to Warwick for being such an important part of this journey.”

Congratulations Sharon from everyone at Warwick Law School on this excellent achievement.
