Abstract

The issue of banking regulation has an increasingly high profile in debates about law enforcement in general, and efforts against organized crime in particular. However, like the animals in George Orwell’s classic book Animal Farm, all finance centers are equal in the sense that they can access a globalizing economy, but some are more equal than others. This paper explores some of the underlying social and political contexts of banking regulation and how they impact upon discourses surrounding bank secrecy.

Keywords: globalization, finance centres, bank secrecy, regulation
