Today, we review Atossa Araxia Abrahamian's "The Hidden Globe," which explores the shadowy world of offshore financial centers and special economic zones. The book examines how these geographically dispersed, legally ambiguous spaces facilitate wealth accumulation and evasion, often at the expense of national sovereignty and social justice. Abrahamian uses case studies, including Geneva, Singapore, and Luxembourg, to illustrate how these "places apart" operate and their impact on global economics and politics. The narrative further investigates the ethical and humanitarian implications of these zones, particularly concerning refugee resettlement and labor exploitation. Finally, the author considers the broader implications for global governance and the future of international cooperation.
