9,505 | 1,385,859 | 36,714 | null | null | 4 | In describing this phenomenon as the development of an “offshore” economy, this article seeks to shift attention from the study of economic processes to the study of the nature of regulatory realms in which economics take place. Specifically, I would like to point out the subtle but important distinction between offshore and, on the one hand, privatization and deregulation which have tended to apply to the entire territory of a country, and on the other, the externalization of activities associated with transnational transactions-if by the latter we understand developments external to the very life of the state system. ¶ In pointing out the subtle differences between these related and yet different developments, we can obtain a better understanding of the relationship between globalization and the state, a debate that has been dominated for a while now by three different schools of through representing widely diverging opinions. The first school of thought, which is closely associated with the globalization thesis, maintains that the state is currently being “hollowed out” from within, soon to “wither away” under the pressures of the global market (Ohmae, 1990; Dendrinos, 1992). The second maintains that globalization is an episodic event, perhaps mere hype, the myopic product of the “long peace” and the end of the Cold War. In this view, associated with realists like Krasner (1994) and Jackson and James (1994) and world system theorists like Chase-Dunn (1994), there is nothing about the past two decades to warrant questioning the fundamental structures of the world, be they the system of states or the “world system” inherited from the long sixteenth century. A third interpretation suggests that the “hollowing out” of the state represents a major structural event in the life of the states, and a form of accommodation to globalization as explicated by the “competition state” thesis (Strange, 1987; Cerny, 1990; Drache, 1993; Jessop, 1993; Hirsch, 1995; Palan and Abbott, 1996). In this view, this restructuring event is an itself internally contradictory and unsustainable (Lipietz, 1994; Cerny, 1995).¶ One of the fascinating aspects of offshore is that it offers an additional fourth perspective. The argument is that by the process of bifurcation of the sovereign providing them with the areas where government interferences are less stringent. And since these more mobile elements are increasingly bracketed out of the state, the state can carry on discharging its traditional roles as if nothing happening, thus helping to alleviate some of the tension between globalization and the state system. To be precise, in most cases states are using the tactics of sovereign bifurcation, not necessarily to isolate themselves from the economic impact of globalization-although this was probably the motive behind some of the offshore facilities, such as the Chinese Special Economic zones and International Banking Facilities of New York and Tokyo-but as a way of providing less regulated and taxed spaces without undermining their claim to regulate and tax other areas of economic activities. In other words, offshore does not isolate the state from globalization as much as it offers a politically acceptable resolution to the tension between globalization tendencies and the state. Offshore, therefore, captures simultaneously two sets of instrumental realities. It is a case of having your cake and eating it: maintaining the state system as organizer and mediator of conflict and tension, yet removing the threat of regulation and taxation attendant with the state-all done in the name of and by the state system itself. “Offshore,” therefore can be thought of as an ingenious device reconciling two incompatible trends. ¶ Seen in this light, offshore is an incredibly complex and fascinating development, one that bears upon not only issues of finance and trade, but also our understanding of the nature of order and change in the modern world. To being with, it requires a reevaluation of the common perception of the relationship between state and globalization. More fundamentally, once down this road, the analysis presented challenges conventional notions of agency and change in international affairs. Obviously such a wide array of topics cannot be discussed within the framework of one article, so I will concentrate one instead on the strong and intimate relationship between the rise of offshore and sovereignty. Specifically, I will argue that the concepts of sovereignty and national self-determination are playing simultaneously enabling and constraining roles in the development of offshore. Furthermore, having “created” offshore, sovereignty and self-determination are themselves constrained and (re-)enabled in turn. ¶ There are, of course, different interpretations of the nature of sovereignty and sovereign equality. Depending on which view on takes, one can come to the conclusion that sovereignty is or is not eroded. The view take is that it is not. ¶ In the first section I introduce a distinction between theories that view sovereignty as control over territory and those that view sovereignty as an accepted convention. From the point of view of the latter, which is a standard “constructivist” view of sovereignty as an institution, it can be done demonstrated that sovereignty, or the right to write the law, is at the heart of the movement toward the creation of the offshore economy. The second section develops the argument for a definition of offshore as differential regulatory realms. The third section then traces a link between offshore and the legal precedence that made such facilities possible. The fourth section overs a brief survey on the development of the offshore economy. | EXTINCTION | EXTINCTION | 94,669 | 28 | 10,315 | 1 |
