By\r\nexamining the literature and the latest data on financial flows, the thesis\r\nattempts to identify the sources of the powerful systematic causes and effects of\r\nOffshore. It does this by disaggregating elements of Offshore that are normally\r\nconflated. An eclectic theory based on elements of liberal international theory\r\nand world-system structuralism is constructed in order to clarify the role of\r\nOffshore in the international economy.\r\nThe conclusions are that Offshore is an integral part of the current global\r\neconomic system; that further research may reveal that Offshore serves\r\nhegemonic interests; that regulatory competition is likely to remain a part of the\r\ninternational economy for the foreseeable future; and that, by finding common\r\ninterests among hegemons and others, the invidious Offshore element of\r\nsecrecy has a serious chance of being curtailed so that systematic stability can\r\nbe increased.","language":"en"},{"key":"dc.format.extent","value":"2859610 bytes","language":null},{"key":"dc.format.mimetype","value":"application\/pdf","language":null},{"key":"dc.language.iso","value":"eng","language":"en"},{"key":"dc.publisher","value":"University of British Columbia","language":null},{"key":"dc.rights","value":"For non-commercial purposes only, such as research, private study and education.
