Draining Development?: Controlling Flows of Illicit Funds from Developing Countries

Draining Development?: Controlling Flows of Illicit Funds from Developing Countries

by PeterReuter (Editor)

Synopsis

A growing concern among those interested in economic development is the realization that hundreds of billions of dollars are illicitly flowing out of developing countries to tax havens and other financial centers in the developed world. This volume assesses the dynamics of these flows, much of which is from corruption and tax evasion. What causes them, what are their consequences and how might they be controlled? The chapters by authors from a variety of backgrounds, including criminologists and practicing lawyers as well as economists, examine many dimensions of the phenomenon.
