[30.08.11] Impersonating Money Launderers and Terrorist Financiers
NUPI's Centre of Global Governance has the great pleasure of inviting you to a seminar with Professor Jason C. Sharman on:
Impersonating Money Launderers and Terrorist Financiers:
A Field Experiment in Compliance with International Law
J. C. Sharman has looked into whether Anti-Money Laundry" policy works, and why it has spread so rapidly to so many states with so little in common. Sharman asserts that there are few benefits to such policies but high costs, which fall especially heavily on poor countries.
The seminar takes place from 14.00-16.00.
Jason Sharman graduated with a Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, before going on to work at American University in Bulgaria and the University of Sydney. Since 2007 he has been based at Griffith University with the Centre for Governance and Public Policy. Sharman’s research is currently focused on money laundering and tax havens, as well as sovereignty and empires. He has also conducted research with the World Bank, Asian Development Bank, Commonwealth Secretariat, APEC and various private sector groups. Sharman's sixth book, The Money Laundry: Regulating Criminal Finance in the Global Economy, will be published by Cornell University Press in September 2011.
