Executive Intelligence Review, Volume 22, Number 25, June 16, 1995 The Civil War And the American System tells the truth-for the first time-about the "Civil War," which was in fact the battle between the American System of economics and the British system of free trade. Today the heirs of Adam Smith and the British Empire are pressing for worldwide "free trade," a system which led to slavery in the 19th century, and is doing so again today. Utilizing a rich selection of primary-source documents, Salisbury reintroduces the forgotten men of the Civil War-era battle for the American System: Mathew Carey, Henry Carey, William Kelley, William Elder, and Stephen Colwell. Together with Abraham Lincoln, they demanded industrial-technological progress, against the ideological subversion of British "free trade" economists and the British-dominated Confederacy.

    Corporate Governance Regulation and Control Fraud in Nigerian Banks A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfilment for the Requirements of University of Sheffield for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Simisola Imelda Akintoye School of Law University of Sheffield December 2015 Abstract The 2009 banking crisis in Nigeria awakened the country on the need for effective corporate governance regulation. In a bid to prevent future banking crisis in the country, this thesis examines control fraud in the 2009 banking crisis using the first five banks involved as a case study. The research addresses three major areas of concern: first, it investigates the fraudulent activities of the banks’ CEOs in the periods leading to the crisis; second, it explores the involvement of other corporate actors in the banking crisis; lastly, it examines how corporate governance regulation can be improved to reduce the likelihood of future control fraud in the banking sector. The research adopts a socio-legal method that links corporate governance regulations pre and post banking crisis to the role of corporate actors including CEO’s, auditors, shareholders and Regulators in corporate governance. The research explores corporate governance as a driver of control fraud in Nigerian banks. The research suggests that prevention of control fraud is not in itself determined by provision of adequate corporate governance regulation but also include a number of enforcement mechanisms and contribution of corporate participants, a totality of which could help prevent future control frauds in Nigerian banks. The research contributes to theory, practice and policy. First, it integrates and enhances appropriate literature and knowledge on corporate governance regulation in Nigerian banks.

  • Bank of Corruption and Criminal Incompetence Der Zusammenbruch Der BCCI
    LESSONS LEARNED Bank of Corruption and Criminal Incompetence Der Zusammenbruch der BCCI Der Chef des CIA bezeichnete die Bank of Credit and Commerce International (BCCI) einmal als „Bank of Crooks and Criminals“. Das Nachrichtenmagazin TIME nannte sie „die schmutzigste aller Banken“. In Bankenkreisen wurde das Geldhaus häufig als „Bank of Corruption and Criminal Incompetence“ bezeichnet.

    Rudderless: The Chemical Weapons Convention At 1 ½ Amy E. Smithson Report No. 25 September 1998 Copyright© 1998 11 Dupont Circle, NW Ninth Floor Washington, DC 20036 phone 202.223.5956 fax 202.238.9604 http://www.stimson.org email info@stimson.org Rudderless: The Chemical Weapons Convention At 1 1/2 Amy E. Smithson INTRODUCTION On the 29th of April 1997, the majority of the world’s nations joined to activate an arms control and nonproliferation accord that will gradually compel the elimination of one of the most abhorred classes of weapons of all times. Previously, the international community had fallen short of the mark in efforts to try to abolish poison gas, despite the opprobrium following its widespread use in World War I.1 The new Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) extends the no use-prohibitions of the 1925 Geneva Protocol2 to outlaw the development, acquisition, production, transfer, and stockpiling of chemical weapons as well. The CWC requires the destruction of chemical weapons production facilities and arsenals over a ten-year period, and countries will witness the shrinking numbers of poison gas factories and munitions. A less tangible function of the CWC, but one that may turn out to be equally valued over the long term is that the CWC will help redefine how states assure their national security. The CWC requires nations to declare activities that were previously considered state secrets and private business information. The treaty authorizes routine and challenge inspections to monitor compliance with its prohibitions. Instead of building large caches of arms, the CWC’s verification processes give governments reason to be confident that managed transparency—a limited waiver of state sovereignty—can enhance national and international security.

  • Learning from the Past: Practical Lessons from Uk Cases
    126TH INTERNATIONAL SENIOR SEMINAR VISITING EXPERTS’ PAPERS LEARNING FROM THE PAST: PRACTICAL LESSONS FROM UK CASES Peter Kiernan* I. INTRODUCTION I propose going through a number of cases from the SFO’s history, which have been important to our development. Some have been successful, some not. All have contributed to the office that I know today. In addition to the cases, I propose mentioning a number of other issues or events that have brought us to this point in our history. II. CASES A. Guinness The Guinness case was the first major enquiry launched by the SFO. It was also something of a speculative case, as the area of take-overs had never before been prosecuted. The facts are that from early 1986, Guinness plc had been engaged in a closely fought competition with Argyll plc to take over The Distillers Company plc. Their respective offers for Distillers included a substantial share exchange element and accordingly, their respective share prices were a critical factor for both sides. In November 1986, amid rumours of misconduct during the course of the bid, the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry appointed Inspectors under sections 432 and 442 of the Companies Act 1985 to investigate the affairs of Guinness. It should be noted that if a person is interviewed under the compulsory power contained in section 434 of the Act, the answers obtained by the Inspectors may be used in evidence against the maker.

His conclusion is that various activities associated with market manipulation (e.g., naked short selling, high frequency trading, derivatives such as Credit Default Swaps and synthetic CDOs, sponsored access, regulatory capture, press manipulation) follow a familiar leverage-and-loot pattern and can be traced to a fairly cohesive network that includes Italian and Russian organized crime, Sunni extremist financiers with ties to Al Qaeda, the Russian FSB, the Albanian Mafia, agents of the Iranian regime, and close associates of Michael Milken. The result, “The Miscreants’ Global Bust-Out”, is 230 pages long. DeepCapture will be publishing it in approximately 25 installments over the coming weeks.
