Description
Summary:This article aims at describing the role of the G7/8 in the anti-money laundering global regime. It will provide an insight of the G7/8 mechanisms that are often not clearly understood and have contributed to the elaboration of norms against money laundering and, more recently, terrorist financing. The goal is then to give an understanding of those specific norms, which have circulated among several international institutions, in particular in the European Union and the G7/8. The diffusion of these norms has been facilitated by actors engaged in the global mobilisation against money-laundering, specifically by those 'experts' of Member States' public administrations. A sociological approach will be used to look at these experts' professional background, highlighting convergences, but also divergences that have framed the existing anti-money laundering global regime.
