Abstract

The global architecture governing anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (AML/CFT) has traditionally been dominated by a discourse shaped by the experiences and priorities of developed nations, neglecting the complex realities faced by developing countries. This lacuna is meticulously addressed in our edited volume, Global Anti-Money Laundering Regulation: Developing Countries Compliance Challenges. This chapter sets the scene by illuminating the multifaceted challenges hindering compliance with AML/CFT standards in developing countries alongside examining why these countries adopt these standards they struggle to comply with. Our chapter also highlights the book structure which foregrounds arguments from contributing actors and outlines its acknowledgement. We anticipate that as we navigate the intricacies of global financial governance, this chapter, alongside others will engender research, foster dialogue, empower local actors, and catalyse transformative change towards a more just and effective regulatory framework.
