Money laundering has become an increasing challenge for the international community in recent decades. In a globalized world, the importance of combating money laundering lays in its negative financial and societal consequences upon the state and society. Against these challenges an international anti-money laundering regime gradually developed and institutionalized. Prof. Herman argues that, although the literature emphasizes the shortcomings of the regime to reduce money laundering, it has been successful in influencing the behavioral and normative transformation of non-complying countries. Thus, rather than measuring success, and using a domestic political economy approach, the case study of Israel demonstrates the effectiveness of this regime in exporting and diffusion of norms, principles and rules.
