This page provides details of the  WORKSHOP ON TAX GOVERNANCE AND THE GLOBALISATION OF WEALTH to be held at the University of Essex, Colchester, UK on 7 and 8 July 2005. This follows very successful workshops  held in  2003 and 2004.

The Workshop's main theme is explained in the CALL FOR PAPERS. We would also welcome papers that enhance sociopolitical understandings of tax avoidance and its consequences.

The campus, set in over 200 acres of beautiful parkland, was conceived as a university town, with a series of modern, interlinked buildings grouped around open courtyards and pedestrian squares. Colchester is a historic town and Britain's oldest continuously inhabited town. It is at the heart of the Constable country. Why not stay longer and enjoy the historical sites, fine shops, restaurants, countryside, parks, scenic drives, miniature railway, zoo and other amenities.
