Abstract
Disequilibrium financial markets are now embedded in international financial networks, which direct the flow of capital around the world.

But at the end of the twentieth century, the global world began to experience destabilizing international flows—particularly in the Asian financial crisis of 1997, Global financial crisis of 2007, and Euro crisis of 2010. In using the IC technologies, how has international banking increased the frequency and intensity of international financial crises?
