English This article focuses on the problems that one small island state has encountered in attempting to reform its political system. Jersey, an Offshore Financial Centre (OFC), has experienced considerable difficulty in responding to relatively modest reform proposals contained within the Clothier Report (States of Jersey, 2000). It is argued that these difficulties are shaped by tensions between regional and international regulatory pressures and domestic strategies to sustain autonomy to meet the perceived requirements of a globally responsive OFC economy. The management of these tensions is explained within the concept of historic marginality (Pizzorno, 1971), as well as the broader implications of political change for OFCs in general
