ABSTRACT
This chapter addresses a highly significant form of crime that has to date been largely neglected in this literature: crimes of globalisation. The relationship of crimes of globalisation to the familiar terms such as transnational crimes and international crimes requires some attention here as well. While the research on crimes of globalisation to date has contributed to increased attention to these specific types of crimes, what remains glaringly absent is increased attention to theory generation to explain crimes of globalisation. The chapter demonstrates why scholars need to examine the criminogenic effects of policies and practices of international financial institutions in developing countries such as Senegal. It presents an exploratory integrated theoretical framework for analysing crimes of globalisation. However, due to the complexities of crimes of globalisation, and in particular crimes of international financial institutions, utilising theories that explain only the individual level processes or even that of organisations is bound to overlook the complexities of such cases.
