Offshore financial centers such as Luxembourg, the Cayman Islands or the City of London provide non-residents with a legal framework that is strong on property rights and soft on taxation and regulation. Combining a concept analysis with empirical research, the book finds that economic actors go offshore to create money more than to hide it. Building on a historical-institutionalist comparison of Britain, Germany, Brazil, and Mexico, Offshore Finance and State Power asks how these offshore financial services affect the power of the state.
Offshore finance can limit state power by transmitting the volatility of unregulated offshore banking into the domestic economy. Legal offshore banking trumps tax planning or money laundering in its impact on state power.Offshore Finance and State Power also reveals that the relationship between the two is not straightforward.
