PART I - The past
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 21 August 2009
Summary
Part I comprises the first third of the text, embracing nine chapters. The timespan is from the beginnings of ‘Offshore’ (say, the 1930s) until the late 1990s (say, 1998). Chapter 1 provides an overview and a brief analysis of each of the chapters that follow. More generally, this Part sets the scene, by describing the context in which ‘Offshore’ exists, and identifies why the lack of relevant information is problematic. Three different interest groups are identified – the marketplace, the service providers and consumers. The two factors that are at the very core of ‘Offshore’ (tax and regulation) are examined in detail.
