 lobal Financial Crisis has catalysed transformation in the international m
 onetary system\, weakening confidence in the stability of the dollar-centr
 ed system and fuelling the internationalisation of China’s renminbi (RMB
 ). The emerging political economy debate over the changing global financia
 l order has\, however\, generally been pitched at a high level of empirica
 l generality and theoretical abstraction\, and remains overly reliant upon
  methodological nationalism. To address this deficiency this paper brings 
 a focus on the financial geography of international financial centres to t
 he debate. Empirically\, we explore the process of RMB transnationalizatio
 n within two distinctive offshore financial centres\, Hong Kong and London
 . We examine the nature and influence of the linkages between these two ce
 ntres in the process of RMB transnationalization\, arguing that these cent
 res contain sources of political agency that are increasingly influential 
 in shaping the post-crisis global financial order. Conceptually\, we inves
 tigate whether the liberal dollar-centred pre-crisis financial order is be
 ing displaced by a singular emerging Chinese state-led order based upon an
  internationalising renminbi and an associated Chinese conception of finan
 ce and paradigm of global financial governance. Or whether we are witnessi
 ng the emergence of financial order/s in the plural\, marked by spatially 
 distinct and institutionally divergent practices of RMB internationalisati
 on linked to specific financial networks and prevailing financial norms an
 d practices.
