摘要:This article uses the case of anti-money laundering regulation to investigate international club organisations' efforts to secure compliance with their rules.

Indeed, the Financial Action Task Force against Money-Laundering (FATF), the international standard setter in that field, has used blacklisting to force non-members into compliance. B...
