Description
Book SynopsisThis contemporary Research Agenda examines the threats to stability and sustainability presented by economically motivated crime and misconduct. Featuring contributions from distinguished experts in the field of criminal law and justice, this book proposes avenues for future research into the legal frameworks designed to prevent and manage economic crime and corruption.
Barry Rider begins by considering the importance of discouraging economically relevant criminals from undermining the efficacy and stability of global economies. Chapters analyse a myriad of topics, including the economic crime-related repercussions of the Covid-19 pandemic, the development of small state financial centres, and the key measures adopted by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) to combat corruption. The book concludes by examining comparative perspectives in fighting organised crime, featuring case studies involving human trafficking and issues of compliance.
A Research Agenda for Economic Crime and Development will be an essential resource for scholars and academics studying criminal law and justice, economic crime and corruption, and law and development. It will also be beneficial to criminal and regulatory lawyers, policymakers, and researchers interested in the prevention of economic crime.
Trade Review‘Professor Barry Rider OBE has been the leading academic on economic crime since the early 1980s. His important scholarship on financial fraud, and on cross cutting issues including restitution and tort liability, has shaped the academic field and set the agenda for the cooperation between different government agencies. This book introduces a fresh and important research agenda for economic crime and development, challenging traditional assumptions, and confronting the real damage that economic crime can do to the economies of the world.’ -- Mads Andenas KC, University of Oslo, Norway and University of London, UK
‘A Research Agenda for Economic Crime and Development
seamlessly weaves together a compendium of insightful, thought-provoking pieces written by established, and emerging, scholars and legal practitioners. Professor Barry Rider and all the contributors should be commended for producing this timely must-read for academics, policymakers and anyone concerned with the much overlooked, yet fundamental, inter-relationship between economic crime and developmental issues.’ -- Shazeeda Ali, University of the West Indies, Jamaica
