This book is concerned about how Offshore Financial Centres (OFCs), the bulk of which are located in the global South, are signified in global financial governance discourses. This sets the tone for a re-reading of Commonwealth Caribbean political economy and the development challenges confronting those residual micro states reliant on sustained success of their international business sectors. Marshall locates the external challenge of the OFC within the maze of global financial governance bodies established to ensure international financial stability.
