Abstract

This chapter is the introduction to the book. It discusses the emergence of offshore financial centres in the Caribbean and their proliferation as a result of globalization. It looks at the effects of globalization which have given rise to money laundering, terrorist financing and tax evasion, and the increasing concerns of the international community to find solutions to these phenomena, including the creation of the FATF and the assignment of the OECD with the responsibility to counter these three phenomena respectively.
