Dollar hegemony in the digital age
A surprising gap in the growing range of infrastructural perspectives on international relations is monetary hegemony. Adopting a Science and Technology Studies influenced definition of infrastructure that foregrounds socio-technical relations, this article develops an infrastructural analytical framework to consider the future of dollar dominance. We elaborate infrastructure effects in showing how social practices and technical objects underpin …
Knowledge infrastructures and the paradox of enacting green and just transitions through dirty and unjust digital markets
How does knowledge of the material foundations and socio-ecological impacts of digital markets shape green and ‘just transitions’ efforts? This article argues that growing awareness of digital markets’ embeddedness in societies and ecologies paradoxically spurs further transnational market-led efforts to attend to the ecological impacts of digital markets. This argument is grounded in the case of blockchain-based digital asset markets emerging ov…
Big Tech–Big State politics’ come of age
In this article, we explore the spatial–political implications of an emergent Big Tech–Big State power axis and the anti-democratic authority it looks to wield. Drawing on participant-observation research within spaces identifying as fully inclusive, we argue that this public–private partnership must be understood as a burgeoning advocacy project that is ‘working’ the intersection of two domains: (1) blockchain-facilitated financial services and …

Digital RMB vs. Dollar Hegemony? Friendly Foes in China-US Currency Competition
Digital transformations are impacting inter-state currency politics in strategically important ways. This article contributes to growing debates over the nature of US-China competition as the Chinese RMB rapidly digitizes in ways said to challenge the hegemony of a slower digitizing greenback. We categorize existing views of currency competition in the digital age into two categories: ‘conventional transformation’ and ‘transformative continuity’.…
Enrolling into exclusion
There is growing debate over whether applications of blockchain and other financial technologies (‘fintechs’) reinforce forms of neo-colonial extraction that perpetuate North–South inequities or help enact decolonial ambitions across the Global South. This paper expands such discussions and contributes to this special issue on ‘fintech in Africa’ by situating emerging African blockchain techno-experimentation within wider international infrastruc…
Beyond scandal? Blockchain technologies and the fragile legitimacy of post-2008 finance
How do applications of emergent technologies contribute to the social legitimacy of finance? To address this question, we examine a set of technologies that have received increasing industry, media, and scholarly attention over the past decade: blockchains. Harnessing the concepts of 'moral economy' and 'scandal', we identify both possibilities and limits for blockchain applications to legitimate a range of monetary and investment activities. How…
Capturing the Moment? Crisis, Market Accountability, and the Limits of Legitimation
This article extends the concept of regulatory capture to a prominent element of responses to the 2007–2008 global financial crisis overlooked in political science: the out-of-court settlements undertaken between regulators and financial firms. In outsourcing accountability to markets and diverging from previous crisis responses, these billion dollar agreements have remained highly controversial. How have financial regulators sought to legitimate…
Experimentalism in European Union and global financial governance
Evidence of substantial experimental governance has been found in a variety of areas of European Union (EU) governance. However the relationship between experimentalism in the EU and global governance remains unclear. Is experimentalist governance an advantage or a disadvantage for the EU in its interactions with global regulatory arrangements? This contribution examines the experimentalist character of EU financial governance and its interaction…
