This chapter offers the first global taxonomy of treaty dispute patterns emerging in the almost first 100 years of the international tax regime (ITR). The time and space dimensions of the taxonomy are as follows. The time dimension covers the era which ran from 1923 — when four economists...

This two-volume set offers an in-depth analysis of the leading tax treaty disputes in the G20 and beyond within the first century of international tax law. Including country-by country and thematic analyses, the study is structured around a novel global taxonomy of tax treaty disputes and...

This chapter offers the first global quantitative analysis of tax treaty disputes emerging in the almost first 100 years of the international tax regime (ITR). The time and space dimensions of the analysis are as follows. The time dimension covers the era that ran from 1923 — when four...

This paper aims to offer a theory of global tax hubs, bringing fresh light on their strategic role in the international tax regime (ITR) during half a century (the 1960s through the 2000s). It focuses on non-G20 tax hubs as a case study. Specifically, the paper addresses two questions that have...

The global economy's centre of gravity is shifting. Emerging and developing countries have been contributing over 50% of the global GDP since the onset of the 21st century, which is unprecedented since the Industrial Revolution. This article offers the first analysis of the creeping convergence...

A Theory of International Taxation combines qualitative and quantitative analyses to shed light on the shaping of the international tax regime (ITR) over the last century. It offers a theory of the ITR as the product of the strategic interaction between three small groups: international...

The global economy’s center of gravity is shifting. For the first time since the 19th century, emerging and developing countries have been contributing over 50% of the global GDP since the onset of the 21st century. If soft power mirrors but lags behind economic power, then the source for...
