This research addresses this question and tests for the effects of institutional linkages between banks and states on the enforcement of these regulations. It is hypothesized here that a bank’s institutional link to its home state is necessary to block attempted enforcement. This research utilizes comparative studies of cases in which enforcement and penalization were attempted, and examines the role of institutional links between the bank and state in these outcomes. The case comparisons include five cases in all, with three comprising positive cases in which enforcement was blocked, and two in which penalty occurred. Combined, these cases control for rival variables such as rule of law, state capacity, iv authoritarianism, and membership of a country in a regulatory body while also testing for the impact of institutional linkage between a bank and its state in the country’s national political economy.

  • Adnan Khashoggi, High-Living Saudi Arms Trader, Dies at 81
    Adnan Khashoggi, High-Living Saudi Arms Trader, Dies at 81 By Stephen Kinzer June 6, 2017 Adnan Khashoggi, the flamboyant Saudi arms trader who rose to spectacular wealth in the 1970s and 1980s while treating the world to displays of decadence breathtaking even by the standards of that era, died on Tuesday in London. He was 81. His family announced his death in a statement. He had been undergoing treatment for Parkinson’s disease. When Saudi Arabia and other Arab states decided to embark on a vast armament program after the 1973 Arab-Israeli war, backed by billions of dollars in oil money, Mr. Khashoggi became their principal link to the American arms industry. For years, he was the middleman in most of Saudi Arabia’s arms purchases. Mr. Khashoggi had several brushes with the law but was never convicted of a crime. He was involved in many of his era’s highest- profile scandals, including Iran-contra and the Marcos family’s effort to spirit money out of the Philippines. One biography of him was titled “The Richest Man in the World,” and he was often described that way. It was not strictly accurate, but during the early 1980s, his wealth, estimated to be in the low billions, placed him in a tiny elite. His appetites were gargantuan, beyond the limits of vulgarity. At the peak of his wealth, he presided over 12 estates, including some in Europe and the Middle East; a 180,000-acre ranch in Kenya; and a two-floor Manhattan residence at Olympic Towers, next to St.
