A New Role for For-Profit Actors? The Case of Anti-Money Laundering and Risk Management | ||
in Journal of Common Market Studies , Volume 49, Issue 5, September 2011 , 2011 , 1043-1064 | ||
The article analyses what the third EU Directive on AML (anti-money laundering) and risk management means in terms of democratic accountability when the banking sector is given a role that is traditionally the prerogative of the public actors. The comparison between the UK and Sweden on the private actors' role in various stages of the risk-based decision process shows that the procedures used could jeopardize the traditional liberal understanding of democratic accountability. | ||
