Book Synopsis Transparent Governance in an Age of Abundance by : Juan Cruz Vieyra
Download or read book Transparent Governance in an Age of Abundance written by Juan Cruz Vieyra and published by Inter-American Development Bank. This book was released on 2014-10-31 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last decade, the Latin American and Caribbean region has experienced unprecedented natural resources abundance. This book highlights how transparency can help realize the benefits and reduce negative externalities associated with the extractive industries in the region. A central message is that high-quality and well-managed information is critical to ensure the transparent and effective governance of the sector. The insights from experiences in the region can help policymakers design and implement effective regulatory reforms and adopt international standards that contribute to this goal. This is particularly important at a time when the recent boom experienced by extractives in the region may be coming to an end.

Book Synopsis Crime, Violence and Security in the Caribbean by : M. Raymond Izarali
Download or read book Crime, Violence and Security in the Caribbean written by M. Raymond Izarali and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-20 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Security challenges pose significant hardship for citizens of Caribbean nations. Public safety is threatened by high rates of crime – especially violent crime – in much of the region, the plague of the illicit drug trade, transnational organized crime, gangs, the current global proliferation of crimes of terrorism and related violent extremism and radicalization. The situation diminishes morale among the youth, their education and their future, and operates as a major push factor. Yet, surprisingly, there has been a scarcity of scholarly work that addresses these conditions. This interdisciplinary volume succinctly responds to the gap in criminological and security studies on the Caribbean by drawing attention to the understudied nexus of crime, violence, and security that is so pervasive in the region, and the ways in which underdevelopment re/creates environments for insecurity. The book is organized in three parts: Part one encompasses conceptualizations of crime, violence and punishment. Part two takes up country cases on crime and security. Part three addresses issues of regional security, both public and private. This timely volume will be valuable reading for scholars, students, practitioners and policy makers who share a critical interest in the scope, impact, and inter-relationality of crime, violence, and in/security in the region.
Book Synopsis Caribbean Crime and Criminal Justice by : Katharina J Joosen
Download or read book Caribbean Crime and Criminal Justice written by Katharina J Joosen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-22 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite high crime rates among men in the Caribbean, rising rates of violence against women in the region, and a significant number of Caribbean nationals incarcerated abroad due to drug smuggling, existing research has yet to offer explanations that are tailored to the unique Caribbean societies and the individuals in them. This edited volume adds to the existing body of scientific, empirical and theoretical work on crime (victimization), and criminal justice in the Caribbean, with a specific focus on impacts of post-colonialism and gender. To investigate these impacts on a developing Caribbean criminology, the contributions in this volume focus on how impacts of post-colonialism, associated racial stereotypes, and/or gender throughout the Caribbean impact on (a) types of offending, (b) victimization, and (c) criminal justice system responses and policies. Bringing together a broad range of experts, this book sheds light on key criminological topics in the Caribbean, including victimization, risk factors for offending, subcultures of violence and particularly gendered violence, and the role of motherhood within matrifocal societies. It is essential reading for those engaged with Caribbean - or decolonial - Criminology and those engaged with comparative and international studies in crime and justice more generally.

Book Synopsis Illicit Finance and the Law in the Commonwealth Caribbean by : Rohan D. Clarke
Download or read book Illicit Finance and the Law in the Commonwealth Caribbean written by Rohan D. Clarke and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-11-18 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provokes fresh ways of thinking about small developing States within the transnational legal order for combating money laundering and the financing of terrorism and proliferation (TAMLO). From the global wars on drugs and terror to journalistic exposés such as the ‘Paradise’, ‘Panama’ and ‘Pandora’ Papers, the Commonwealth Caribbean has been discursively stigmatised as a mythical island paradise of ‘rogue’ States. Not infrequently, their exercise of regulatory self-determination has been presented as the selling of their economic sovereignty to facilitate shady business deals and illicit finance from high-net-worth individuals, kleptocrats, tax-dodgers, organised crime networks and terrorist financiers. This book challenges conventional wisdom that Commonwealth Caribbean States are among the ‘weakest links’ within the global ecosystem to counter illicit finance. It achieves this by unmasking latent interests, and problematising coercive extraterritorial regulatory and surveillance practices, along the onshore/offshore and Global North/South axes. Interdisciplinary in its outlook, the book will appeal to policymakers, regulatory and supervisory authorities, academics and students concerned with better understanding legal and development policy issues related to risk-based regulatory governance of illicit finance. The book also provides an interesting exposition of substantive legal and policy issues arising from money laundering related to corruption and politically exposed persons, offshore finance, and offshore Internet gambling services.
Book Synopsis Democracy in Small States by : Jack Corbett
Download or read book Democracy in Small States written by Jack Corbett and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-09-20 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Populism and the personalization of politics appears to be threatening the existence of democracy as we know it all over the world. It is now more important than ever to understand the history of this form of regime: why it has thrives and fails. But, existing studies are limited by their focus on a few large and predominately rich states. This book takes the opposite approach: it investigates how politics is practiced in the smallest states where hyper-personalization has always been a ubiquitous feature of political life. It optimistically finds that hyper-personalized democracy can actually persist against all odds, but also cautions that political practices in small states are often markedly different to larger states. Oxford Studies in Democratization is a series for scholars and students of comparative politics and related disciplines. Volumes concentrate on the comparative study of the democratization process that accompanied the decline and termination of the cold war. The geographical focus of the series is primarily Latin America, the Caribbean, Southern and Eastern Europe, and relevant experiences in Africa and Asia. The series editor is Laurence Whitehead, Senior Research Fellow, Nuffield College, University of Oxford.

Download or read book Good Government written by Sören Holmberg and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Everyone wants good government, but how do we know when we have it? The path-breaking Quality of Government Institute cuts through the tiresome ideological debate with theoretically grounded empirical analyses of the components, measures, and outcomes of good government. The book's contributors demonstrate the relevance of political science, and they do so with arguments and evidence that should improve policy and, ultimately, peoples' lives.' – Margaret Levi, University of Washington, US 'All too often today research in political science is irrelevant and uninspiring, shying away from the "big" questions that actually matter in people's lives. Good Government shows that this does not have to be the case. Tackling some of the "biggest" questions of the contemporary era – What is good government? Where does it come from? How can it be measured and how does it matter? – this book will prove invaluable to academics and policy makes alike.' – Sheri Berman, Barnard College, US 'What is "Good Government?" Few doubt that it is better to have a "good government" than a "bad" one, but few of us have thought carefully about what makes for good government vs. bad. Sören Holmberg and Bo Rothstein's excellent volume helps fill in this gap. Though the book is more than this, the focus on corruption is particularly fascinating. We know that corruption is "bad" but where does it come from? Why are some legislatures more corrupt than others? Why does the media sometimes collude? Why are women less easily corrupted than men? These are just a few of the many fascinating questions this volume explores. By bridging democratic theory, public policy and institutional analysis, it is one of the first to give us some practical insight into the obviously important question: what makes some governments "better" than others?' – Sven Steinmo, European University Institute, Italy In all societies, the quality of government institutions is of the utmost importance for the well-being of its citizens. Problems like high infant mortality, lack of access to safe water, unhappiness and poverty are not primarily caused by a lack of technical equipment, effective medicines or other types of knowledge generated by the natural or engineering sciences. Instead, the critical problem is that the majority of the world's population live in societies that have dysfunctional government institutions. Central issues discussed in the book include: how can good government be conceptualized and measured, what are the effects of 'bad government' and how can the quality of government be improved? Good Government will prove invaluable for students in political science, public policy and public administration. Researchers in political science and the social sciences, as well as policy analysts working in government, international and independent policy organizations will also find plenty to interest them in this resourceful compendium.
Book Synopsis Domestic Politics and International Narcotics Control by : Victor J. Hinojosa
Download or read book Domestic Politics and International Narcotics Control written by Victor J. Hinojosa and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-11-21 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines different levels of narcotics control cooperation between the United States, Mexico and Colombia. Victor J. Hinojosa finds that Mexico is consistently held to a very different standard than Colombia and that the US often satisfies domestic political pressures to be tough on drugs by punishing Colombia while allowing Mexico much more freedom to pursue different strategies. He also explores the role of domestic terrorism and presidential reputation in Colombia for the US-Colombia pair and the role of competing issues in the US-Mexican bilateral agenda for that country pair, finding that congressional pressure and electoral tests exert the most impact on US behavior but that Mexican and Colombian behavior is best explained in other ways. Together, these findings suggest both the promise of integrating the study of international relations and comparative politics and important limitations of the theoretical framework.
Book Synopsis Black Money and Economic Crimes by : Dr. A.K. Saxena
Download or read book Black Money and Economic Crimes written by Dr. A.K. Saxena and published by K.K. Publications. This book was released on 2021-08-03 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the modern economic system, Black Money refers to funds earned in the black market, on which income and other taxes have not been paid. The total amount of black money deposited in foreign banks by Indians is unknown, but one estimate by an expert reveals that the black money held by Indians, in foreign banks is more than all the black money, hoarded by people in the rest of the world, combined together. While official numbers are not available, Swiss banking personnel have also said that the largest depositors of illegal foreign money in Switzerland are Indians. Black Money is an economic term, hard to define, accurately. Black Money is also sometimes used for payments to evade tax. However, this is a mild form of black money. This money in fact is obtained, illegally and is partially suppressed. A popular way for criminals to launder black money in property is to set up complex structures. In this way, they try to see that the money flows out. This book on this subject should certainly prove to be an asset for all scholars, researchers and social activists Table of Contents Preface....................................... ix Introduction............................... 1 Definition of Black Money • Birth of Black Money • Burning Topic • Use of Black Money • Controlling Black Money • Roots and Causes of Black Money • Black Money Scenario • Another Definition • Mid-form of Black Money • Art of Spending • Repentance Scheme • Black Money in Swiss Banks • The Modus Operandi • Mauritius Route • Non-sufficient Funds • Implementation Black Money in India..................... 33 An Overview • Sources of Black Money • Parallel Economy • Political and Administrative Corruption • Indian Politics and Black Money • Remedy to Corruption • Failed Policies • Current Scene • Baba Ramdev and his Individual “Satyagraha” • Industries and Black Money • Poverty, Industrial Scam and Corruption • Illicit Means Adopted • Tax Information Exchange Agreement • Economics of Corruption • Remittance Services • Cybercrime • White-collar Crimes • Terrorist Financing • Human Trafficking • Court Cases Impact of Black Money on Indian Economy 71 Effects and Aftereffects • Other Effects • Various Causes of Black Money • Effects of Black Income • Impact on Common Man • Inflation • Speculative Investments • Major Tax Havens • State of Indian Economy Indian Government’s Actions against Black Money................................ 81 Law against Black Money • Income Tax Department’s Role • Various Measures Undertaken Money Laundering........................ 95 Disguising Illegal Sources • General Aspects • Methods • Enforcement • Laws by Region • Locations • Castle Bank and Trust • FIMACO • Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act • Legislative History • Money Laundering Control Act • Money Mule • Nugan Hand Bank • Founding • Parcel Mule Scam • Russian Mafia Unlawful Transactions................. 129 Cheque Fraud • Types of Cheque Fraud • Bad Cheque Writing • Cheque Kiting • Bad Cheque Restitution Programme • Methods • Circular Kiting • ChexSystems • Services • Overdraft • Shared Cheque Authorisation Network Black Marketing........................... 155 Background • Transportation Providers • Modern Examples Insider Trading............................ 169 Definition of Insider • Legal Insider Trading • Illegal Insider Trading • Liability for Insider Trading • Tracking Insider Trades • Common Law Menace of Corruption................... 181 Etymology • Areas of Corruption • Corrupt Activities • Bid Rigging • Bribery • Cartel • Collusion • Cronyism Corruption in India....................... 207 An Overview • The Background • Politics • Bureaucracy • Land and Property • Income Tax Department • Judiciary • Armed Forces • Medicine • Religious Institutions • Education • Protectors against Corruption • Socioeconomic Issues • Economic Issues • Violence Organized Crimes......................... 223 The Background • Theoretical Background • Critical Criminology and Sociology • Models of Organised Crime • Individual Difference • Violence The Scams.................................... 249 Lottery Scam • Charity Scams • Fraud Recovery Scams • Pet-Scams • Rental Scams • Attorney Collection Scams Controlling Financial Crimes......... 255 Various Organisations • Directorate General of Economic Enforcement • Directorate of Revenue Intelligence • Economic Intelligence Council • Various Members • Financial Crimes Enforcement Network • Hawala • Financial Transaction Centre • Guardia di Finanza • Different Roles • Anti-drug Operations • Chiasso Financial Smuggling Case • Unit Awards • Special Departments • Mobile Phone Financial Services • Market Abuse • Market Manipulation • Servicio de Vigilancia Aduanera • Department of Customs and Special Taxes • Territorial Services • Armament and Equipment • Slush Fund • the United States Secret Service • Uniformed Division • United Nations Convention against Corruption Anti-corruption movement in India. 299 Background • India against Corruption Movement • August Protests • Vote Bank against Corruption • Political Support • Jan Lokpal Bill • Use of Cyberspace • Government’s Response • Political Response to Jantar Mantar Protests • Ramlila Ground Protests • Police Action against Demonstration • Aftermath of the Protests • Civil Society Response • Suo Moto Cognisance by the Supreme Court • Protest Timeline Laws in Various Countries............. 327 International Laws • Indian Laws against Corruption • The Acts • The Amended Act • Patronage • Ecclesiastical • Price-Fixing • Criticism on Legislation Bibliography................................ 345 Index.......................................... 363
