“…However, capitalism brought untoward sentimental attraction that changed perception from common concern to personal romanticisms. As Baker and Joly (2009) deduced, capitalism expanded to a situation in which the rich beggars the poor, and laws are observed more in the breach than the moral observance. The civil societies became tamed in lobbying for what is personal to each, and the modern public sphere emerged from the rubbles of the older fashion.…”

“…Illicit money certainly goes beyond attributing the "dirtiness" in a global financial flow to breaking the "laws in its origin" only: if it circumvents the law in transit through to destination, then it qualifies to be called illicit. Acting as a catalyst in this inappropriate gains are the lacunas "left in the laws" of the West that analysts have adjudged as the facilitating instruments that have assisted the willing financial structures to move the proceeds to the West (Baker & Joly, 2009). In 1902, John Hobson had argued the era of free-trade, which Baker and Joly (2009) misapplied as "fair" play in commercial prospect to all parties, is over for good and replaced by corporationalized monopoly.…”

The scenario bespeaks a global (Western) amorality that, in addition to forcibly interfering in the affairs of weaker nations, seeks to "secure a gain in excess of the net services rendered" (Särkkä, 2009, p. 166).…”

“…Baker and Joly (2009, p. 2) broadly defined the proceeds of all transactions that violate the law of commerce as "illicit" even if grossed in trade. From 1960, wrote Baker and Joly (2009), financial structures sprouted in the West to creatively provide havens for corrupt leaders of the newly independent states of Africa and elsewhere to hide their loots and starve them away from legal and societal probes. The corporationalization of trade and the creation of "global financing structures" facilitated the transferal of monies from illicit commerce.…”

Shifting the Goalposts: Postcolonial Africa and the West in the Global “Two Publics” of the Development Paradigm

Heretofore, development studies seldom focus on the systemic twists in the market functions and the structural contradictions of capital functionalities that appear to deny African states the opportunity to engage the world as global financial competitors. This article engages the nagging reconstruction of Africa’s development discourse, particularly the debate about the fallout of the global development paradigm that created “two publics” of the West and the “Others.” The classic works of African and Africana political thinkers are explored to thoughtfully situate the position of African states in the contemporary competitive market systems amidst the various distortions in the trade morality and fundamentals. Using a systematic approach and rigorous evidence-based review, the article combines materials and methods from sociological, economic, and political perspectives to scrupulously situate a perceptive case on the continued economic tension that Africa has had to grapple with from a conceivable past to the modern days. The article argued that the global economic order transformed from the mutuality interface that capitalism arguably represents into exploiter/subject relations. The aberration created by the scenario negates the freedom of all, including the impoverished, to trade on equal pedestals, and specifically, made Africa’s economic development forlornly challenging—not necessarily for being a poor player but for the constant shift in the goalposts.

Ill‐conceived tax policies cost developing countries vast sums of public revenue, but this issue has received relatively little attention within the Financing for Development (FfD) process of the United Nations. The outcome documents of the FfD conferences in Monterrey (2002) and Doha (2008) largely neglect globalisation‐related tax issues such as under‐taxation of multinationals and capital flight to tax havens. This article analyses how this topic has been marginalised by powerful interests, ideas and institutional factors, but it also shows how a growing coalition of governments, international organisations and NGOs has recently succeeded in raising the issue much higher up the international agenda.
