Are offshore financial centres the product of global markets? A sociological response
Clearly the globalization of finance has provided opportunities for OFCs to emerge. From a sociological perspective it is argued, however, that closer analysis demands respect for their diversity and even idiosyncrasy. Analytical concepts are offered to situate this diversity and to develop a more reflexive understanding of the processes through which the system of OFCs continues to develop. We arrive at a distinctive approach for theorizing OFCs…
Monetary Privacy in the Information Economy: Bank Confidentiality in Monaco
Offshore financial centres (OFCs), such as Switzerland and the Cayman Islands, increasingly have to exchange information on their financial activities, reflecting broader trends in what Castells has termed the `information economy'.

Formality and Informality in Offshore Financial Centres
One of the central features of an offshore financial centre (OFC) is that it operates outside of the customary regulatory systems experienced within mainstream 'onshore' banking systems.

It utilizes three analytical distinctions in approaching the social, legal and political dimensions of the law and moves beyond superficial claims that Monaco's proposed law merely represents a codification of hitherto informal principles and practices. Issues …
