1/5 It is done! After 4 years of intense study, field work in #Britain, #Germany, #Mexico and #Brazil my PhD is submitted - hardbound, handstiched. The politics of the invisible: #offshore finance and state power can be accessed here doi.org/10.17863/CAM.4….

2/5 I couldn't be more grateful for the excellent supervision by @HelenHet20 and Jason Sharman @Dept_of_POLIS. What an extraordinary experience!

3/5 A big thank you also to my viva examiners @JBRGreen and @fichtner_jan who read the thing cover to cover, asked great questions and gave helpful advice for the publications to come.

4/5 "The politics of the invisible: #offshore finance and state power" compares the uses abuses of offshore financial services in #Britain, #Germany, #Mexico & #Brazil based on a mixed-methods approach of descriptive @BIS_org banking statistics and elite interviews.

5/5 The thesis finds that the relationship between #offshore finance & state power varies across countries. Yet, in all cases #offshore money creation (i.e. #Eurodollars) challenges state power more than does offshore #tax planning. Abstract & thesis here: doi.org/10.17863/CAM.4…
