    摘要、提要註: Sovereignty, size and money are the three defining characteristics for the offshore financialcentre in the Caribbean. The conflict at the centre of this study involves the attempt by a group of large developedcountries to force small developing countries to change their domestictax laws. Looking first at the international harmful tax competition project begun in 1998, the book then demonstrates the important economiccontribution provided by an offshore financial centre to a small country. From this analysis the author demonstrates the motivations behind the individual and collective actions taken by small countries to resistthe project. By standing firm against the pressure to changetheir laws they demonstrated the continued relevance of sovereignty in international society, and most especially its importance to the small post-colonial country. The book contributes to wider debates involving globalization, development and international finance with its analysis of the under-researched topic of offshore finance.
