Chapter 6: How Should It Be Taught?

This chapter – even if perhaps stylistically being not unlike the previous ones – will be in the nature of an attempt at a discussion of various themes relating to what, in the business faculties or institutes of many modern tertiary education institutions, and, more particularly, departments focusing on the teaching of financial services, has actually become a very important academic discipline in its own right. This is the teaching and research on financial services regulation.¹ As with many areas that fall under financial services, there is a historic background (often unwritten or unappreciated) that had its effect, or, even, conceptually non-effect, on the teaching of financial services regulation, and we briefly look at that aspect in both international and purely local contexts.
