The term 'international financial architecture' is usually used in order to describe institutional and regulatory attempts of international institutions and actors to provide a basic framework for cross-border financial transactions. In this article it is argued that a more integrated perspective based on interdependences of financial markets, currency law, and State debts is necessary to conceptualise the challenges of the international financial system. This argument is supported by both historical reasons and current developments. Moreover, as financial market instruments are inherently embedded in domestic legal orders, a multi-layered legal approach is necessary. In addition, the structure of the international financial order is also determined by the fact that there is an increasing necessity to integrate approaches of macro and micro prudential regulation and supervision. All this leads to a constitutional perspective based on relevant provisions of the UN Charter. Even though one may thus identify several aspects of coordination and cooperation as essential for an effective and efficient international legal order, the current international financial architecture remains fragmented. It seems to be too early to acknowledge a comprehensive international financial order. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
