Offshore Island Politics is a fascinating study of the constitutional and political development of the Isle of Man. The book analyzes three broad aspects of twentieth-century political development: constitutional progress towards self-government, elections and public policy and the changing role of the state in Manx society.

Following numerous international mergers and syndicate formations large accountancy firms are competing to provide services to international corporations and businesses with cross-border trade. The Yearbook provides a one-stop reference source allowing financial directors of these companies to find out which accountancy firms are providing what services and where. It will also provide great assistance to other accountancy and financial services organisations to evaluate the state of the fast growing European market, and to assess competitors or possible partners. The Yearbook includes profiles of all the major firms showing the international coverage, their services offered, fee income, partners, branch offices, etc. In addition the Yearbook includes invaluable reference data such as country by country accountancy scene overview, corporate tax rates, E.C. directives, etc.
